Win 11 Pro 21H2, Local Account

Thinking of buying Office 2021 Home & Business.

Anyway, just hoping someone can confirm that I can use Outlook w/my Local account; not needing to sign in to Microsoft whenever I open Outlook.

Thank you

Zinc: I'm on Windows 10; I have Office 2021 Home & Business and I don't need to log into my Microsoft account to use any of the Office applications.

Excellent. Thank you.
I'm assuming you're using a Local Account?

Yes, I log on with a local account. My Microsoft account only came into play when the software was registered.
