Windows 10: Apps can now be downloaded without an account
Windows 10 apps can now also be downloaded without an account. Not all, but at least the free apps.
The range of functions was quite limited in Windows 10 or Windows 10 Mobile without an account, but this will now change. All free apps can now be downloaded without a Microsoft account.
Nothing works without a Microsoft account
You are almost forced to create a Microsoft account, because otherwise you can hardly use anything. No Cortana, no apps and many other things that you can't use without a Microsoft account. But now the principle is changing in the Windows Store: If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can buy free apps from the Windows Store, but not paid apps. This allows users with a local account to download any free apps.
Microsoft incorporates stumbling blocks
Apps, games, and other content that have in-app purchases or are rated between 18 and 18 years of age cannot be downloaded. Theoretically, the user is forced to create an account. Microsoft had not yet commented on this issue.
Microsoft is now finally realizing that not everyone wants to download an account in order to download apps. In my opinion, Microsoft is justified in requiring an account for paid apps. How else should you pay?
Hi,
I feel the same way. Perhaps further functions can be used in the future without a Microsoft account. So I really hope so!
