MicrosoftJonasBack Thanks for the reply! They're not using the Windows 10 Home device for work, they want to use the laptop at home for personal home use. They use one email address for everything, and it's hosted on O365.
As a result they cannot use a Windows 11 Home computer.
Absolutely no domain or cloud features whatsoever are needed. A local account like what was possible on Windows 10 and every previous version before that is all that is needed.
Right now as a workaround I have to create a dummy MS account just to get past that requirement, then add a local account. It's an added hassle with Win 11 that's just not needed.
I suggest you look into providing your work users with a Microsoft 365 license that also adds a version of Windows 10 that enables them to sign into the device with their Work account if that is a requirement you have.
Is there a 365 licence that allows an O365 email address to sign in to a Windows 10/11 Home device? Or do I have to buy a Windows 10/11 Pro licence just so I can login to a laptop that has no need for any Pro features whatsoever?
The original behaviour where the user is asked if an email address is work/personal is a terrible user experience, but at least that would allow a user to use the same email address to login to a Windows 11 Home device.
