   I saw a complaint from a Windows 11 user to the effect that it would   
   not allow him to save stuff locally.   
      
   I tried to find out more about it for him and it appears that it   
   offers a chic, but his machine was set to log in to the MS server, and   
   he didn't know how to change it.   
      
   Someone else told me that Windows 11 does save files locally, but it   
   is so many levels deep that you have to be a hacker to find them.
