Laughs in Linux
- peakaboo 5y agoYou also need to give up all your privacy and relax while Microsoft takes care of you....
- chrjxnandns 5y agoNo you don’t.
- Vindicis 5y agoYou don't. You can still run local accounts.
- moreira 5y agoNot on Windows 11 Home, from what I understand.
- thepete2 5y agoI believe the option is only shown if you are offline, so you need to disconnect from the internet.
- chrisandchris 5y agoAs said in the thread it (currently) works if you do not setup internet until after the installation completes. If you set up internet before, you end up doong a full re-install.
- peakaboo 5y agoYeah if you disable WiFi which is a very dark pattern and user hostile.
- LegitShady 5y agolast time I installed windows 10 this wasn't required - you just had to figure out which button took you past it. Maybe its changed since
- pstrateman 5y agoIt has, you need to disable internet access to have a local account.
- stronglikedan 5y agoI'm currently using two laptops, both running Win 10 with local-only accounts, and I've never had to disable internet access to do so.
- sumtechguy 5y agoYou do not have to. But they sure make it a pain to not have that linked.

- petecooper 5y agoIf you're installing Windows 10 fresh, you can bypass the account login thing more easily if you defer network configuration during setup.
