  1. Can I Upgrade to Win11 with a Local Account if I'm Only Using a Local Account on Win10 at...


    My laptop was purchased with Windows 11 and downgraded to Windows 10 after a huge problem with OneDrive. The computer repair person who cleaned up my computer installed Windows 10 with a Local Account and now that I've been back to that experience I do not want Windows 11 unless I can keep a Local Account and have zero interface with OneDrive.Is this possible? And can someone provide me with the links to do so?

    :)
     

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    Local Account password changed to Online Account Password

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the steps on how to switch from Microsoft account to Local account:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
    • Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
    • Now, login to Local account.
    Hope it helps.

    Creating a local account in Win10 pro

    How do I create a local account in Win10 Pro? I've created local accounts on my laptop with Win10 Home by
    • Select ' Accounts'> 'Family & other users'.
    • 'Add someone else to this PC'

      and then going through the account creation process, however my Win10 Pro doesn't have the option for Accounts'> 'Family & other users'. and I can't find a way of creating the account.
