You have to use your Microsoft account to access the Store. You don't have to attach a credit card to it unless you want to DL software that isn't free. It's the same with Apple and Google.

The biggest advantage if you downloaded software that is not free and get you get a new device there is a record and you won't have to pay a second time.

Ok, yes I'm going to download a free app, but the problem is, microsoft asks me to switch my Local User with Microsoft account, that means I'll have to use microsoft account login to login to my PC which I dont want. Is there a way to bi-pass this? I want to use my local user account, not the microsoft account.
