No more sneaky setups: Microsoft shuts the door on local Windows 11 installs.
Microsoft is digging its heels on users who want to set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft Account.
Microsoft’s latest future-oriented announcement brings plenty of good news for Windows 11 users, including a focus on a password-less approach. And one, not-so-good one. Apparently, Microsoft will no longer allow you to set up a new machine with Windows 11 without a Microsoft Account, and some people will not be very happy to hear that.
The company has confirmed it is removing a popular command line that allowed you to bypass connecting to the internet and signing into a Microsoft Account.
