Windows 11 Home requires a Microsoft account when configuring
Windows 11 does not seem to have a lot of heavy changes in the architecture under the hood, and many see it more like Windows 10.5. However, Microsoft provides some changes to the operating system requirements that would make Windows 11 incompatible with PCs that perform Windows 10 perfectly. This is not just hardware requirements that could be a break in the new Windows 11 systems, however, however . Even the way you create a first user of a new computer has a new essential requirement, at least for Windows 10 Home.
This is no longer secret than Microsoft wants everyone to use Microsoft to have and use a Microsoft account. Even Minecraft, which it now has, started demanding all versions of the game. Microsoft has tried to apply this requirement during the life of Windows 10 and has not encountered any small amount of reaction. It seems that this has found the perfect opportunity to try again with Windows 11
The last Windows reveals that the Windows 11 Home installation process absolutely requires a Microsoft account to configure, which, in turn, requires a work Internet connection. In Windows 10, turning off the Internet connection would allow the user to configure a local account. However, this time the installation process will not proceed at all if you do not have an Internet connection.
The report notes that the Microsoft account is only required when configuring new and detailed PCs, and not when upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11 systems. In addition, the user can still add A local account and delete the Microsoft account after the configuration process. It is not yet known if Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise will have a similar requirement.
The requirement of a Microsoft account will not sit down with some Windows users, but requiring an Internet connection during the configuration could be an even greater offense to some. Microsoft announces many advantages and amenities that a Microsoft account brings to the Windows 11 experience. However, this assumes that all Windows users are large fans or even users of all other Microsoft products, which is little likely to be the case.
