Poor people. Surely Microsoft is fixing this by giving them a proper local skip that doesn’t bypass the other critical setup?
- altairprime 1y agoPresumably the business/enterprise editions still do?
- Marsymars 1y agoMaybe not for the long term; business/enterprise are mostly using domain accounts for non-server systems.
- jwitthuhn 1y agoEnterprise might but Professional sure doesn't.
- kirenida 1y agoI just installed a copy of 25H2 on a laptop with a previously saved Professional licence. You can just choose to create a "work or school account" and then leave the domain name empty.
- jwitthuhn 1y agoInteresting, will give that a try next time. I guess I never looked because I had assumed that option made you connect to an existing domain.
- kirenida 1y agoI've used that workaround on literally dozens of installations in the last few years :)
- altairprime 1y agoThanks! I wonder how much of this is Microsoft trying to create recurring profits from the base (Home) sku, rather than that they care about local-user installations in any other circumstance.
