Noted that it's only required for W11 Home, not Pro or Enterprise
- throwaway946513 5y agoShouldn't be required for Home users especially.
- NoPicklez 5y agoWell technically, it makes more sense for it to not be in Enterprise especially.
- glandium 5y agoAnd it was already the case with Windows 10 Home.
- MrYellowP 5y agoWindows 10 Home does not require a microsoft account or online connection. The part during setup, where it asks you about your account, can be skipped.
- nucleardog 5y agoThey’ve actually fully removed the skip option at this point AFAIK. It got hidden away deeper and deeper and is either removed or it’s hidden so deep I can no longer find it. East workaround, however, is just to install with internet disconnected. If it has no internet connection it won’t block the install but will instead prompt you to create a local account. It sounds like they’ve removed _that_ loophole in Win11.
- glandium 5y agoAnother thing that Windows Home requires a MS account for, even if you've got away with not using one: FDE.
