Can I buy and play Microsoft Store games using a local account?

by taimurzunel537 . Updated 6 years ago

I don’t want to use a Microsoft account to log into my PC – the simple reason is because I want anything online to have a complex password and it would therefore be inconvenient to use this password to quickly log onto my computer – I therefore use a local account for this purpose.

But – I’ve seen a game I want in the Microsoft store for sale (I usually use Steam) – but will I need to be using a Microsoft account to log into Windows to play it?
