Hey guys,

Just booted my computer and I’m now on the “add Microsoft account” page.

I can’t get passed it without entering a Windows account?

Can someone help ASAP?
 
Have you done a new install?

If yes then here is a guide: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-windows-11-without-microsoft-account

You can also do it by not creating the image using the MS Image Creation Tool but just download the ISO then use Rufus to create a USB key. One of the options at the end is to create a local user and remove the requirements for an online account (There are also several other helpful options as well).

Hope that helps.

thanks, i ended up setting a new account and email that i will use solely for the W11 gaming PC.

It still logs into W11 without a pin or anything. so not end of the world.

I read Microsoft released something to try and combat the use of W11 installs without the created account! :mad:
