- 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.

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.
