On macOS it asks you to set up once during the first startup, and then doesn’t nag you all the time if you don’t want to.
I set up Macs for people without an iCloud and it was not an issue - they didn’t miss it, aside from notes not syncing between devices and other features that need iCloud.
On Windows it will keep trying you to sign up all the time. I have just one machine with Windows, I don’t need an MS account, I don’t need their cloud features nor their store, and Windows keeps pushing me to set up one.

- kolinko 4y agoAh, right, I forgot about these. Question - is it because you didn’t add any apple ID, or that you added it but didn’t log in? I remember MacOS prodding me the same way even with non-apple accounts when I added them but had expired passwords. If it’s that then you can go to the „accounts” preference and remove all the accounts. Perhaps it will help.
