Can I install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account?

Windows 11 setup often requires you to sign in with a Microsoft account.

But in fact, it is also possible to install with a local account in a small way.

By temporarily disconnecting the network, you will be presented with the option to create an offline account.

It is also important to take a backup of your data before installing Windows or changing settings.

# Windows 11 # Windows 11 Settings # local account Microsoft Account # Windows installation

3/27 Edited to

... Read more私もWindows11を新規インストールするときに最初はMicrosoftアカウントのサインインが必須だと思い込んでいました。しかし、実際にはネットワーク接続を一時的に切断することでオフラインアカウント(ローカルアカウント)の作成が可能になることを知りました。 この方法だと、Microsoftアカウントなしでシステムを利用できますし、個人情報のクラウド連携を避けたい方や、シンプルな使い方を求める方には便利です。ただし、一部のMicrosoftのサービスやアプリとの連携はできないため、その点を理解した上で選択するのが重要です。 また、インストールや設定変更を行う前には必ずシステムやデータのバックアップを取ることをおすすめします。私はAOMEI Backupperなどのツールを使って事前にバックアップしておき、もしものトラブル時も安心できました。 さらに、Microsoftアカウントを使う場合でも、OutlookやOneDriveなど複数のサービスが便利に連携し、ファイルの自動バックアップや予定表データの同期がスムーズになるメリットもあります。用途に応じて使い分けると良いでしょう。 全体としては、自分の利用スタイルに合ったアカウント選択が重要であり、Windows11のセットアップ時にはネットワークを切断するなどのちょっとした工夫で多様なインストール方法を試せることを知っておくと良いと思います。
