    Sounds more like a way to push Microsoft accounts and Windows Hello than consumer oriented.

      The Microsoft accounts are already required (without resorting to increasingly convoluted methods) and I think the hardware for Hello might be too now for OEM built computers, I’m not sure.

        I mean, technically Windows Hello also includes signing in with a PIN or passkey. It doesn’t require biometrics, although it does support them.
