When buying new computers and laptops, it is inevitable that you have to do the so-called “new machine settings” first. For heavy users of Windows, the Windows 10 “Home Edition” setting has a very strange restriction: “You must log in with a Microsoft account.”
For this situation, the well-known foreign media PCMag hasRelated reports：
Domestic bloggers also have articles mentioning:Experience of “Mr. Ou Fei”：
If you refuse to log in with your Microsoft account, put an old picture as usual:

First of all, you must know that if you are using Windows 10 “Professional Edition” or “Enterprise Edition”, there is no such problem, because the professional/enterprise version of Windows may only be deployed on the company’s line number and only use the local network environment. Internal system policy (System Policy). But for users of the home version, Microsoft does not care so much, forcing you to log in with a Microsoft account.
Please see my installation demonstration using Windows 20H2.
The previous steps are ignored. When you go to “Add your account”, the screen looks like this:
▲ “Add your account” in Windows 10 Home Edition, can not find any option of “Local Account”.
You may think that “look around” will find options. I used to think so (it looked like this in a previous version), but this time it’s gone-I’m so naive! If you also click “Learn more”, only to tell you the benefits of using a Microsoft account, and “In any case, you can wait until the system is installed and then delete”, the question is…how can people who don’t have an account get in?
Can I only apply for one at once?
▲ Press “Further Understanding”, I don’t know if I understand, but I am even more confused anyway.
I will leave it to you all if you condemn it. I won’t mention it. Here are two methods that allow you to create a local account (without using a Microsoft account). There are two methods:
1. Network disconnection method: It depends on which method you want to use to disconnect. In short, you can use a local account without the network. However, if you have entered the Wi-Fi password and connected to the Internet before, you want to regret it? No way, because there is no “previous step”. And there is another trouble: the laptop has not been set up yet, and Windows 10 cannot be disconnected from the Internet.
If it is a desktop computer, you may be able to unplug the network cable. If it’s a laptop, then you have to… temporarily turn off the Wi-Fi AP? Oh, the author has no objection, I have to figure out a solution by myself.
Do I have to apply for a Microsoft account? No, there is another trick.
▲ After “Internet disconnection”, click “Create Account” to create a “local account”, but sometimes you can’t use the “disconnection” trick, so you can’t sing.
2. Enter at will: Please enter some mail address (account name) and password (the password must be entered) that are “definitely nonexistent”, and after entering it once or twice…
Deng froze! Windows 10 will give you “Skip this step for now”!
▲ Thankfully, after entering the non-existent account secret twice, you can “skip this step temporarily”. I wonder if your bluffing skills are enough?
But the next key is: Microsoft does not intend to let you skip it so easily. If you press “Next”, you will be asked to enter your Microsoft account again… So, please note that you must press “Limited Experience” again. Please pay attention to the difficulties!
▲ Please note that when you press “Next”, you will hit the wall again. Please click “Limited Experience” to create a new local account.
I don’t know if this counts as a “stealth step”, but I feel that in any case, users should have the right to choose what function they want to use, especially when this function is obviously “you still put it there for him to use”. Please refer to the experience.
