    It’s a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It’s not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account

    Edit:

    1. I don’t use windows, stop assuming things about me
    2. Everything you don’t like or don’t use isn’t an ad. This is no different than Gmail and Google chrome having Google drive integration.
    3. Microsoft has been forcing people to use online accounts for windows login, so it’s only natural for the account button to let you manage it as well.
    4. This isn’t an endorsement or a value judgement.

      It’s not Microsofts account for starters, its also not their computer. Its a user account on the customers computer.

      Linux mint doesn’t try and steal your content to train an AI. It’s also a much nicer experience in a lot of ways

      That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. <–

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

      And if it is, that’s not Microsoft’s fault.

      And if it was, they didn’t mean it.

      And if they did, you deserved it.

      Seems a bit silly to comment confidently on changes happening within Windows that you don’t experience then, no?
