accounts on a computer.

If you click the Users can't add Microsoft accounts setting option, users will not be able to create
new Microsoft accounts on a computer, switch a local account to a Microsoft account, or connect a
domain account to a Microsoft account. This is the preferred option if you need to limit the use of
Microsoft accounts in your enterprise.

If you click the Users can't add or log on with Microsoft accounts setting option, existing
Microsoft account users will not be able to log on to Windows. Selecting this option might make it
impossible for an existing administrator to log on to a computer and manage the system.

Note: Organizations implementing account access control policies are recommended to enable this setting.");
