Learn how to create a local account in Windows 11 with our simplified setup process by logging into your personal PC without using a Microsoft account.
Heh, I made the mistake of connecting to the internet, which removes the option for a local account. Even after quitting the setup and restarting the machine, it would skip the wifi question and ask for a Microsoft account.
I ended up using hotkeys to open console and using a command to disable the wifi adaptor, then another to reboot the machine.
After that it suddenly allowed a local account.
Whereupon I learned that there was no way to force it to use the dedicated GPU, win11 only allows you to enable it per program. Otherwise it decides when you need it.
I have installed win10 for now, but the writing is on the wall. When win10 is no longer supported we will finally make the switch to Linux.
