Microsoft really wants you to use a Microsoft account on Windows, to the point where it won't tell you how to make a Local one.
  • Microsoft removes guide on converting Microsoft accounts to Local, pushing for Microsoft sign-ins.
  • Instructions once available, now missing - likely due to company’s preference for Microsoft accounts.
  • People may resist switching to Microsoft accounts for privacy reasons, despite company’s stance.

    During setup press Shift + F10, type OOBE\bypassnro, press enter and have fun creating local accounts.

            Tried it just yesterday with the multi edition iso directly downloaded from the ms web page.
            But as I am in Germany and my region is the EU/in Germany we get a different treatment.

            Or it’s just the OS the OEM delivers that is BS :p
