📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user experiencing issues launching Microsoft Edge on their Windows laptop without creating an account, possibly due to using the built-in Administrator account which may be restricted from using Edge. Contributors suggest creating a Microsoft account for better functionality or using alternative browsers like Chrome or Firefox, and clarify that Edge restrictions are not specifically tied to the account type. Overall, the users explore potential solutions, with some noting that the Administrator account may be locked from Edge for security reasons, and the original poster considers trying the recommended options.

What's the difference between using your windows account to sign in or using the local account.....
And what does it mean if they are the same account ????

Hi
There are some limitations on what Windows will do if you are not signed into a Microsoft account.
I wasn't aware that using Edge was one of them, but you can go to the Microsoft account page and create an account.

Once you have a Microsoft account set up, you should be able to log into your computer using it.
It will consist of your email address and the password you create with Microsoft.
Alternately you can chose to use a different browser like, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
In my opinion either of these works better then Edge does anyway.
I use my Microsoft account to log in but many people prefer to use a personal account that doesn't require them to send so much of their information to Microsoft when they use their computer.

It's strange, because I used Edge for a period of time, and one day, I can't use it suddenly. But yeah, I use the Administrator account, always.
