Possible to install windows 11 without microsoft account?

Hello tech community members,

 

I'm new to Windows and want to install Windows 11 on a PC given by my dad, but I don't have a Microsoft account and I'm not planning to create one. I've heard that it's possible to bypass the Microsoft account requirement during the installation process, but I'm not sure how to do it.

 

Could anyone provide a step-by-step guide or any tips on how to install Windows 11 without Microsoft account? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you had the same question, please follow this step-by-step-guide with screenshots to get it done. I already successfully installed Windows 11 on my PC without Microsoft account. You can also contact the support to send you the custom ISO to skip the Microsoft account requirement.

    MartinezipoI had done this for two times. It takes too much time when connecting a Microsoft during installation.This is a simple trick to install Windows 11 without microsoft account for old Windows 11 versions.

     

    During Windows 11 installation, select "I don’t have internet" at the bottom left corner of the screen when prompted to connect to a network, . This option may appear as "Skip for now" in some versions.

     

    A new screen will appear, asking you to continue with limited setup. Click "Continue with limited setup".

     

    You will then be prompted to create a local user account. Enter your desired username and password for the local account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
