If you Buy a team with Windows 11, Microsoft will always try to finish installing the operating system with a Microsoft account. And if you don’t have it, you will ask you to create a new one. The requirement is annoying and seems impossible to dodge, but in reality you can.
It is just what he discovered last year Elon Muskwhich I had in X how Twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1761835728000954654″>had bought a new laptop “And he doesn’t let me use it unless he creates a Microsoft account.”
The tycoon complained in addition to that would mean “giving his artificial intelligence access to my computer! This is a disaster.” Then I commented as time ago there was an option to avoid having to log in with a Microsoft account, and asked if the same thing happened to everyone.
Several X users finished responding with possible solutions to the problem, because it is still possible to install Windows 11 and use it with a local account.
The problem is that Musk began to perform the process in a location in which the laptop had automatically connected to a Wi-Fi that did not need password. Musk continued protesting For this Microsoft requirement indicating that, according to him, “the company can turn off the computer” thanks to that account associated with the team.
Finally Musk ended up publishing Another message in X in which he indicated that he had already managed to dodge the Microsoft requirement, so annoying in his eyes, and thanked the users who had proposed solutions. As soon as he deactivated the Wi-Fi so that the computer did not connect to it, could follow the instructions To log in with a local account without more.
In the original X Musk message, an interesting informative note appears indicating that it is effectively possible to avoid the Microsoft requirement. In that note an external tutorial was linked, but in WorldOfSoftware we have also been available for a long time to explain how to achieve it.
