Possible to install windows 11 without microsoft account?

Martinezipo I was fortunate enough during my Windows 11 installation last September. When the setup process reached the point where it required a Microsoft account, I simply unplugged my Ethernet cable. This action caused the setup to revert to the Local Account creation screen. So you can now install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account.

To ensure success, I also made sure there were no Wi-Fi connections available to the PC beforehand. Interestingly, I used the same method when setting up Windows 10 and was both surprised and relieved to find that this trick still worked.
