1454909 2018-10-24 20:48:00 Depends on your preference, some see no advantage to it.

gives access to the MS store
Allows you to sync some settings/bookmarks/themes between PCs logged into the same account - probably other stuff I don't care about enough to check
Ties your windows key to your MS login making it easier to transfer to a new PC or reinstall on the same PC (not that the 2nd one is an issue anyway)

There's probably more, but you can google it just as easily as I could.

It worked like a champ for a week or so but then began to struggle with sync again. Overall it seems to be better with sync but this isn't saying much. Tbird650 (6754)
