Yes you can, even the 22h2 update, although it's of course not self-evident.
If you say you want to join it to an ActiveDirectory domain (on-prem, not Azure AD), it will ask you to create a local admin account. It will not follow up with the domain join procedure, so you can leave it at that.
- LinuxBender 4y agoI could be wrong but isn't this just for Pro and Enterprise editions and not the Home edition? I ask because most systems preloaded with Windows have the home edition.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoGood point, I do not know that. I've only ever touched the Pro edition (which later became Enterprise when joined to a domain).
- _trackno5 4y agoHmm, wonder if it is like the other comment said and you can for the Pro version. I just set up Windows 11 (Home) a few days ago and did not have the option to do that without a MSFT account.
