Windows 10: Windows 11 account creation required for all users?

I'm still using Windows 10 but considering upgrading to 11 - I read that the new update requires you to set up using a Windows account, which is fine for me as I already have one. But, on my home PC there is an account for me, my wife and my child. So the question is: If I upgrade to W11, will they then need to create Windows accounts to be able to log in to the PC or is the account creation just an initial set up thing?Thanks.

Windows 11 Microsoft Account Requirement

Several third-party sources suggest that Windows 11 Home and/or Windows 11 Pro will soon require the use or creation of a Microsoft Account during installation or upgrade.

If a Microsoft account is in fact being required, can someone point me to where the requirement is described on the Microsoft site? Thanks!

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
