Local account
A local account is a user name and password that you set on your VAIO computer. Because one
local account is expected to be used for a single computer, you cannot share the same account
on multiple computers.
Hint
Setting a local account password is optional. If you forget your local account password,
recover your VAIO computer.
Microsoft account
A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to sign in to Microsoft
services. Because a Microsoft account can be set for each user, you can share the same
account on multiple computers. To download apps from Windows Store, you need to switch
from a local account to a Microsoft account.
Hint
Setting a Microsoft account password is required. If you forget your Microsoft account
password, contact Microsoft support services.
