Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them

  • 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.

That has been err "fixed" some time ago. You cant open the command window during setup anymore

You can. I downloaded the (german language) setup iso from microsoft about 3 weeks ago.

I tried it a couple months ago on a laptop, didnt work. But it also already came with a W11 install, maybe thats why

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
