Three ways to install with a local account


That article is dated June 19, 2021. A lot of what it says is out of date now, in particular the bit about disconnecting from the internet. Microsoft has closed a lot of the loopholes for Home since the Insider build that was available back then, they no longer work for the Release version.

Brink's tutorial has all the current known methods for installing Home with a local account.
Ah thank you for pointing that out. Good that we have Brink's tutorial :)

Yes, exactly. Click on Microsoft apps only to avoid converting your local account into Microsoft account.

If you want to have a free choice of the name for the user folder it is best to create the local account at the beginning. Using an MS account means the name of the user folder will be the first five characters of your email address.
I wonder why MS doesn't correct this problem. I'm sure that they have received a lot of complaints.

However, if you want to start personalising your build, you will have to login to your MS Account.
That is not true. A Microsoft Account does nothing to increase the amount of personalizing Windows 10 or 11 that the user can do.

I agree. I HAVE an MS account, I just don't use it for my Windows install.
Ofc this pic is from Win 10, but my Win 11 is the same...

Here's Windows 11...

@Wisewiz

Why do you have TWO avatar pics, and I only have one? Is that because I'm on... Home?
Is it because you're a... Wizard? :D

It's probably because I did an In-Place upgrade from Win 10 to Win 11.

@Ghot @Brink

I went to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures" and changed the names of five original files to "Xold" and then pasted my wiz's face five times with the previous filenames. I think Brink showed me what to do in a tut, but I'm not sure. (Almost always when I do sthg I think is clever, Brink showed me how to do it.)

I have a custom user picture too. Just change the default picture from Settings, Accounts with any image you like. If you have a webcam you can even take a photo and use it.

Hi,
Yeah I believe ico files are a bit more complicated than just doing it once
Guess you're good for that size thumbnail though.

Account images think they can be any size.

Maybe I got the tips from the same Web site. I dunno, but I did the deeds on the very first day I had this PC. My png is 174 x 174, but so long as you name it user-32, user-40, user-48 ... Windows will use it when the small, medium, and large images are called up. Same size png in all instances. No need to resize it. (PNGs are great that way.)

Makes sense. This site is where I saw the info, and I intend to ONLY try the pics thing, and not the registry tweaks.
And I'm not gonna resize each one. I'll just try renaming them first.



I only have ONE user on this comp, so the rest of the info on that page is pretty useless.
But the substituting the pics seems like a plan.


I've heard it said somewhere...
"To those who have none, even a little knowledge of computing seems like wizardry."

Maybe it's true. :D

I have a custom user picture too. Just change the default picture from Settings, Accounts with any image you like. If you have a webcam you can even take a photo and use it.
I don't think that will carry over to the Settings banner to give you both images, instead of your chosen image and the little "man" icon, as Ghot shows in #26 above. Also, I think I noticed that there's a difference in chosen-image-use when you're logged in on a local account or on your MS account. Not sure. Haven't used my MSA enough to know what it does.

Yeah, I have no trouble changing the pic. But when I do, it only shows up on the right.
The pic on the left is still the generic one...

I'm not really an evil demon, but when I set my ^ account up, this pic was just... handy. :D



Maybe I'll use this pic...

Believe me, it's true. Over and over and over again, when I get a client's PC running properly again, I hear the question, "Where the hell did you learn how to do all that?"

Actually the "all that" is usually not a lot.

I know in advance that I'm going to get awed responses to even minor adjustments when I start a service call with "Tell me a little bit about your maintenance routine for this machine," and the response is "My WHAT?" :oops: :mad::sick:

I think the one on the left is taken from "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures" user-32 or user-40.

Back in the day, when I was working on main frames... and the customer asked: "How did you fix that"?

I'd look both ways, like it was a secret and then say in a conspiratorial tone: "It's Magic".
I used to get in trouble a lot for having... the wrong attitude. :D

Hello, I just installed Windows 11 on an unsupported Lenovo G50-45 laptop (AMD E1-6010, 4GB RAM). This had a Windows 8 core key in BIOS, so Setup automatically installed Windows 11 Home. At the network screen the old trick of pressing Alt+F4 to close it and proceed with a local account didn't work. So I did the other trick, I pressed Shift+F10 to open a command prompt and run taskmgr to open Task Manager. I then went to the Details tab, located the process oobenetworkinstall (or similar), highlighted it and clicked End Task to close it. Setup proceeded asking for a local account!
