Microsoft announced a new operating system a few weeks ago: Windows 11, which is not yet available in its final version. But Microsoft has already published many details about it. In addition, a pre-release version is already available. This makes it possible to try out the new operating system and get to know its functions. One of the available information is that a Microsoft account will be necessary for the installation of Windows 11. However, many users view this detail very critically. For this reason, in this article we will look into the question of whether it is also possible to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account.

 

Windows 11 - new operating system with many advantages

Before we look at how you can install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account, we would first like to briefly address the question of whether the installation is worthwhile for you at all. To do this, it makes sense to take a brief look at the functions of the new operating system. As soon as you start it, you will immediately notice that it has a new design. It looks modern and unobtrusive. Microsoft has already published numerous screenshots and it is already possible to get an idea of the new design in the test version. Most users have received it positively. The new position of the start menu takes some getting used to. It is still located in the task bar. Now, however, it is in the middle.

 

There are also some innovations with regard to the control options. Windows 11 is even better adapted to devices with touch screens than the previous version. For example, the operating system automatically switches to the display mode for touchscreen devices if no keyboard is connected. In addition, Windows 11 offers many new possibilities for games and the communication software Teams is integrated directly into the operating system. Very interesting is also the possibility to run Android apps on the PC. This offers you the possibility to use your favourite smartphone programmes on the computer as well. As you can see, the new operating system offers many advantages. So it's worth buying Windows 11. In the following sections, we will show you what you need to consider if you want to install this software on your computer.

 

System requirements: Microsoft account and many more details

If you install an operating system on your computer, it is necessary that it meets the system requirements. Otherwise, it cannot be used. This aspect plays an important role with Windows 11. While the requirements did not change when Windows 10 was introduced compared to the previous version, Microsoft has significantly increased the system requirements for the latest Windows version. This serves to increase performance and security. However, it also follows that the operating system will not work on many older computers. Before you start installing Windows 11, it is therefore very important to check carefully whether your device meets these requirements. If this is not the case, you must continue to use your previous operating system.

The most critical point in the system requirements is probably the main memory. The minimum requirement is 4 GB. However, many older devices have a lower value. Even today, there are still many computers on the market that have only 2 GB. If you are considering buying such a model, you should be aware that it is not Windows 11-capable. Another important detail is that Windows 11 requires the use of UEFI firmware. This detail also poses a problem for some older devices that are only equipped with the BIOS boot system. The processor must in any case work with 64 bit and have at least two cores. The minimum clock frequency is 1 GHz. In addition, there are many other requirements, but most computers should meet them.

If you read through the system requirements to the end, you will discover another detail. Microsoft states that both an Internet connection and a Microsoft account are required to install Windows 11. However, it is stated that this requirement only applies to the Home Edition. For the other editions, it states that the Microsoft account is only required for some functions, but not for the basic installation. In addition, Microsoft says that you need an Internet connection to install all editions.

 

Many users do not want to open a Microsoft account

The announcement that Windows 11 Home can only be installed with a Microsoft account is causing resentment among many users. Many are not prepared to open a Microsoft account. For one thing, many users already have numerous accounts with different providers. Now they don't want to add another account. For another, the Microsoft account is a key to various cloud services from Microsoft. The software manufacturer wants to motivate users to use these intensively and possibly switch to the paid offers later. Many people do not want to open a Microsoft account for this reason either.

 

There is also another aspect: via the Microsoft account, the provider collects a variety of data about the users. It is possible to prevent the transmission of data. However, this involves additional effort. Therefore, many users prefer to carry out the installation without a Microsoft account.

 

Installing Windows 11 without a Microsoft account: various options

With Windows 10, you have the option with all editions to specify during installation whether you want to use a Microsoft account for this or whether you want to set up a local account. However, this is no longer the case with Windows 11 Home. If you want to use the new operating system without a Microsoft account, you do not have to buy the Pro Edition of Windows 11. There are various tricks to trick the system.

 

Here we present three different ways to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. Normally, this should work with any of the three presented possibilities. However, we occasionally hear of problems occurring in this case. If the chosen method does not work, it is therefore advisable to try another option.

 

Before you get started, there is one more point you should consider: At the time of writing, only the test version is available. Here, all three options work. However, once the final version is launched at the end of 2021, some changes may still occur.

 

1. Enter an invalid email address

The first method is to use an invalid email address. To do this, you must first download Windows 11 and begin the installation process as usual. After a few steps, you will be prompted to enter the email address for your Microsoft account. To do this, choose any address that does not exist. In the following window, enter a freely invented password. The installation wizard will then tell you that there were problems with the installation. The option to set up a local account appears.

 

2. Disconnect the Internet connection during installation

If there is no Internet connection, the installation of Windows 11 is not possible. The trick to log in without a Microsoft account is to disconnect during the installation process. To do this, first follow all the steps until you are prompted to enter your email address. Now disconnect the Internet connection and click on the arrow to return to the previous window. Now continue with the installation. The option to set up a local account should now appear.

 

3. Prevent entry of the Microsoft account by key combination

With the third option for installation without a Microsoft account, you also have to carry out the first steps normally. As soon as the prompt to enter your e-mail address appears, you must enter the key combination Ctrl + F4. This should also make it possible to carry out the installation with a local account.

 

Using Windows 11 without a Microsoft account - no problem

If you buy Windows 11, you will benefit from numerous advantages. Therefore, it is worth switching to the new operating system. If you do not want to set up a Microsoft account for this, there are various options for setting up the operating system with a local account.
