Can I log into to a domain instead of using a Microsoft account on Windows 11?

Or how do I skip Microsoft account setup on Windows 11?
Since Win11 is continuous update, some methods may not work.

  • Yes, you can.

    On the OOBE setup, you need to choose Set up for work or school account.

    Yes, I did it on Windows 11 pro version. There is a possibility to choose the Domain join option to create a local user.

    Yes, you can choose the Domain join option, it will let you create a local user. There is no need to actually join a domain once you're done with the setting up.

    This works on the Pro version of Windows 11, I'm not sure if Home has it.
