Microsoft's relentless push for users to sign into Windows with a Microsoft account is Romantic comedy Archiveshard to ignore, especially with Windows 11 making it tougher to bypass this requirement. But if you’re tired of feeding your data to Microsoft and want to switch to a local account, you’re in luck — it's still possible.

Fire Up Settings: Click on the Start menu and open the Settings app
Head to Accounts: Navigate to the "Accounts" section in Settings
Find Your Info: Under Accounts, select "Your info"
Switch to a Local Account: Look for the option that says "Sign in with a local account instead" and click on it
Follow the Prompts: Simply follow the on-screen instructions to set up your local account
While switching to a local account remains straightforward, you should create a password reset disk — without it, recovering a forgotten password can be a hassle.
While Microsoft, like Google and Apple, prefers users to stay connected within their ecosystems, opting for a local account is still a viable choice for those prioritizing data privacy and autonomy. Even though Windows 11 has made it less obvious, the ability to use a local account is very much alive. So go ahead and take control of your Windows experience.
