The New Way to Create a Local Account on Windows 11 — No Microsoft Sign In (The Easy Way)

#Windows11 #LocalAccount #NoMicrosoftAccount
Windows 11 asks for a Microsoft account during setup, and there's no obvious way past it. But there is one, and it's a link Microsoft put on the screen themselves. In this tutorial I show you the new way to create a local account on Windows 11 — no commands, no registry editing, no third-party tools. It works on both Home and Pro, and takes about two minutes.

Then, once we're at the desktop, I walk you through the three things worth doing on any fresh install: Windows updates, proper manufacturer drivers instead of generic ones, and protection.
