Windows 10 definitely begged you to use a Microsoft account to log in. IIRC you couldn't even set it up with a local account unless you told the install process you didn't have internet. I believe it also moved your home folder to onedrive without asking with no way to fully undo that

And to continue to get Windows 10 security updates right now, I had to sign in to a Microsoft Account to do it, so it’s even pushier.

You sign in to enroll your device in the update scheme then just log out again.

I get updates for 10 without having signed into an account (I refuse to).
