Microsoft has revealed another nuance with how the extra year of free updates for Windows 10 will work
It will require you to be signed into a Microsoft account on an ongoing basis
This is to avoid somebody signing up for extended updates with a Microsoft account, then switching to a local one for the rest of the year
