How to Install Windows 11 with a Local Account
A Local Account and Windows have always gone hand to hand. There are many whо would like to have an account that is not сonnected to the internet at all. Plain old simple local accoυnt.

- After completing all the processes, you will finally reach the Account Login screen.
- Click on the Sign-in options. Then on the option Offline Account.

TIP: This post will show you to install Windows 11 Home without a Microsoft Account or an Internet connection.
Although it is always recommended to use a Microsoft account because it has its benefits like syncing and integration with other personal devices that you use and numerous other perks, it does enforce a lot of unnecessary things on you as a courtesy of using a Microsoft account.
This is why many people prefer Local Accounts as it provides an out-of-the-box experience to the end-users. Even if you end up using a local account, you can always connect it to Microsoft’s account in the account settings.
Pros and Cons of using Local Windows Account
There is always a good and bad side to using a local Windows account. Even if you do not use a local account, keeping an extra account does no harm. You can use it in case you are unable to access the online account, or the profile has gone corrupt.
PROS:
- All the data is stored in the local device or storage.
- Much secure, as you can create a very complex password that works on your computer.
- As mentioned earlier, local accounts are private, data and settings are stored locally.
- A local account is also internet-independent as a Microsoft account uses the internet to retrieve all the user data from the internet. Local accounts don’t need an internet connection as all the data is already stored in the device itself.
- You can choose a custom-made name for your account instead of an email id required on a Microsoft account.
- You can still use other limited services.
CONS:
- No Cloud Storage or OneDrive
- Syncing across the PCs (settings and the changes you made) is not available.
- Find my device feature doesn’t work with a local account.
- Access to the windows store is restricted.
- It is harder to recover an account if you lose the password.

How to create a Local User Account in Windows 10?
There are two possible ways by which you can use a local account in Windows 10. You can either change your current profile to a local one or create a different local profile.

Hopefully, this article has helped you with all the doubts related to local user accounts. Still, we recommend that a Microsoft account is a much more viable option than a local user account. But still, it depends on your personal preference which one you want to use.
They both have their own advantages and disadvantages in different scenarios. While local accounts grant you more privacy, you left out some of the essential features that Windows offer.
Even though Microsoft is pushing for Online accounts for good reasons, you can use both Microsoft and local accounts simultaneously without any issues. In fact, a local administrator account is always helpful.
We hope this guide helps you create a local account in Windows 11.
