Set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account with a local account (2024)
On Windows 11, you're probably using a Microsoft account, but you can always switch to a local account. A Microsoft account is the default type when you set up a new user on your computer because it offers better security, integration with Microsoft services, and easy syncing of files and settings across devices. However, this isn't everyone's preferred account type, as many users don't like the idea of large companies handling their information or using cloud services.
In fact, the company has said that you should consider a local account for a device that doesn't need an internet connection. It's independent of other services and not connected to the cloud. And you want your settings, files and applications to be limited to that one device.
If you want to switch from a Microsoft account to a traditional local account, it's a simple process through the Settings app.
