Pro Tip: Set Up Windows 11 22H2 with a Local Account

Windows 11 22H2 allows users to choose between a Microsoft account and a local account during the setup. To streamline the local account setup, follow these steps:

  1. During the initial setup, when prompted for the username, enter "no@thankyou.com" instead of your regular email address or preferred username.
  2. For the password, use any random password.
  3. Proceed with the login attempt, which will fail due to the unconventional username and password.

The failed login will trigger the local account setup wizard, allowing you to create a new local account and bypass unnecessary steps. This pro tip saves time and effort, providing a simplified setup process.

Conclusion:

By using this pro tip, you can simplify the local account setup in Windows 11 22H2, ensuring increased privacy and control over your operating system. Enjoy a streamlined process and personalize your Windows experience with a local account.
