False: you can still create and use a local account. You do not need a Microsoft account to use Windows 11.

That’s news to me.
Most of the computers I set up are for domain networking. Occasionally I would find laptops with exact same hardware profiles but where well more than the $99 cheaper when they had windows xx home, so I would buy those and get the pro upgrade for $99, then run the domain setup. Well with windows11 home, you cannot set it up without a microsoft login (unless you’re using deployed installation/drive images). It wont let you get past the initial setup. Back in windows 10 home, you just booted without internet and it let you bypass the microsoft login. Windows 11 pro actually let’s you get past this because they know organizations are just going to domain join with one of their domain users.
No on one google had a way to get past this, so if you know the sequence, go ahead and post it somewhere. You’ll probably get some good hits.
