Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11
windowscentral.com
- Microsoft inadvertently highlighted the benefits of using a local account over a Microsoft account on Windows 11 in a recent support page update.
- Using a local account allows for offline sign-in, is independent of cloud services, and limits settings, files, and applications to a single device, enhancing privacy.
- Despite these benefits, Microsoft requires internet access or workarounds for the initial setup of Windows 11, making it challenging to use a local account from the start.

Newer versions won't allow you run the command prompt in the initial setup environment.
I successfully did it on a brand new Inspiron laptop yesterday morning. I do regular device configs for my organization, and the moment this stops working, I'll be here to rage about it!
That's good. I had to install from and older iso.
Out of curiosity, is that W11 Home or Pro? I don't deal with home at all, I wonder if that's the difference.
I think it was Home. I never completed the OOBE to find out.
