If you are trying to install Windows 11 without a MS account, visit the website in the link below.


If that's not what you were trying to do, post back with more clarification.

It's not clear what you are asking. Do you mean the the requirement when first setting up Windows 11 to use a Microsoft account as the first account?

If you have already set up your Windows with an MS account, then it's simply a matter of creating a new local account and making it an administrator. Then you can use that account instead. Or you could just switch your MS account to a local account.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.
