Possible to install windows 11 with local account and skip microsoft account?

A local account means:
- No syncing of settings across devices.
- You can still use the Microsoft Store and other Microsoft services by signing into individual apps (like Mail or Office).

You are not missing out on critical OS functionality by using a local account. The core experience of Windows 11 is identical.
By following these steps, you can easily install windows 11 with local account. And not being forced to use a Microsoft account for your primary login.
