Installation of Windows 11 without Microsoft Account login

Windows 11 installation with a local account

At some point, logging into your Microsoft account has become almost mandatory when installing Windows. However, in the case of a PC shared with other people, a local account rather than a Microsoft account is often useful. I will introduce how to install Windows 11 local account.

1) When the first network connection screen appears, press Shift + F10. This will bring up the command prompt, where you type taskmgr. If you enter even taskmgr, the familiar task manager appears, where you end the item called network connection flow.

2) If you close the item and proceed, a window will appear where you can create a user name as shown above, so you can select the PC name you want.

3) After that, a password input window appears, but you can skip without entering a password, and the local account setting is completed.

Other methods exist, but in the case of other methods, it is somewhat inconvenient because you have to set a password, so I think this method would be better. Of course, this method may be blocked later.

Summary

1. When the screen such as network connection appears for the first time after installing Windows 11, enter Shift + F10

2. At the command prompt, type taskmgr

3. End network connection flow in task manager

4. Set your desired name and password
