如果您尝试设置计算机，您可能已经注意到没有其他选项可以使用 Windows 帐户登录。对于从Windows 7跳转到(Windows 7)Windows 10的用户来说尤其如此，您可以在没有Microsoft帐户 的情况下轻松设置和正常登录。
在Windows 10中，隐藏在“离线帐户”选项后面的使用经典本地Windows帐户登录的选项不再存在。如果没有Microsoft帐户，您将无法设置Windows 10 。相反，您必须在首次设置过程中使用Microsoft帐户登录 - 在安装之后或在使用操作系统设置新计算机时。(Microsoft)
Microsoft希望创建无缝体验，以便您在设备上拥有一些相同的功能。此外，它还会将您的设置与您的Microsoft帐户同步，例如您的 PC 主题和存储的密码。
尽管如此，无论您喜欢与否，您都与Windows帐户相关联。(Windows)在创建本地帐户(local account)之前，您必须使用Windows帐户登录。不过值得庆幸的是，有几种方法可以在没有Microsoft帐户的情况下设置(Microsoft)Windows 10，我们在本指南中分享了这些方法。
本地帐户与 Microsoft 帐户：哪个更好？(Local Account Vs Microsoft Account: Which One Is Better?)
本地帐户是大多数人登录计算机的经典方式。在此处单击您的用户帐户，输入密码，然后开始使用计算机。您仍然可以在Windows 10上使用本地帐户登录，但首先需要Microsoft帐户才能通过转到Settings > Accounts> 您的信息 >使用本地帐户登录(Sign)来创建本地帐户。
使用本地帐户的好处是，您可以使用它从Windows 应用商店(Windows Store)下载和安装免费游戏(download and install free games)和应用程序，而无需使用Microsoft帐户，还可以使用(Microsoft)邮件(Mail)和日历(Calendar)等系统应用程序。
另一方面，Microsoft帐户是可免费用于登录多个Microsoft云产品（如Outlook.com、OneDrive和Skype等）或Windows智能手机和Xbox游戏机等设备的单个帐户。您还可以使用Microsoft帐户下载付费应用程序并访问所有Windows 10 功能(Windows 10 features)。
Windows 10本地帐户政策背后的想法是在Microsoft帐户和用户期望之间找到平衡，同时仍为本地帐户用户提供尽可能多的功能。您仍然可以在Windows 10计算机上使用本地帐户，然后使用Microsoft帐户从Windows Store下载和安装应用程序。
在Windows 10(Windows 10)中使用Microsoft帐户的其他好处包括通过OneDrive免费云存储、同步帐户设置（如网络配置文件）、管理密码(managing passwords)和Windows 应用商店(Windows Store)应用设置，以及跨应用和设备的熟悉体验。
Microsoft帐户的主要缺点是它容易被黑客入侵，需要访问 Internet 才能使用最新保存的设置，提供的隐私较少，并且会在您的设备之间自动同步您的设置。如果您的帐户被锁定(get locked out of your account)，您也将无法访问您使用该帐户使用的其他设备。
如何在没有 Microsoft 帐户的情况下设置 Windows 10(How To Setup Windows 10 Without A Microsoft Account)
Windows 10 会尝试确保您使用Microsoft帐户，但您仍然可以使用以下步骤创建本地帐户。
注意(Note)：如果您使用的是家庭(Home)版并且您已连接到 Internet，则您将无法在没有Microsoft帐户的情况下设置(Microsoft)Windows 10，因此第一步是断开与 Internet 的连接。
Windows 10 家庭版(Windows 10 Home)
- 如果您使用以太网(Ethernet)电缆或WiFi连接到网络，第一步是拔下电缆或断开计算机与WiFi的连接。对于WiFi连接，您可以通过单击Windows 10 设置(Setup)工具栏上的后退图标跳过设置向导开始时的过程，然后尝试创建Microsoft帐户。
或者，如果一切都失败，请按笔记本电脑上的飞行模式(Airplane Mode)键断开WiFi或拔下路由器一分钟。(WiFi)当您看到“出现问题(Something went wrong)”错误消息时，单击跳过(Skip)以跳过帐户创建步骤。
- 在谁将使用这台电脑(Who’s going to use this PC)屏幕中，创建一个离线帐户并在不使用Microsoft帐户的情况下登录(Microsoft)Windows 10。
Windows 10 专业版（专业版）(Windows 10 Professional (Pro))
如果您使用的是Windows 10 专业版(Professional)，您可以通过选择设置屏幕左下方 的“域加入(Domain Join)”选项来创建本地帐户。
如果由于某种原因，您没有看到“域加入(Domain Join)”选项，您仍然可以使用我们在上面为Windows 10 Home描述的相同技巧，断开与 Internet 的连接，然后创建本地帐户。
创建了一个“虚拟”Microsoft 帐户(Created A “Dummy” Microsoft Account)
如果第一种方法不适合您，仍然可以使用Microsoft推荐的步骤创建本地帐户。在设置过程中 创建一个Microsoft帐户，然后稍后将其更改为本地用户帐户。(Microsoft)
- 使用您的Microsoft(Microsoft)帐户登录，然后打开Settings > Accounts。
- 单击左侧窗格中的您的信息。(Your Info)
- 接下来，单击使用本地帐户登录(Sign in with a local account instead)。Windows 10 将引导您完成切换到本地用户帐户的过程。
拥有本地帐户后，您可以从系统中删除虚拟Microsoft帐户。
以自己的方式使用 Windows 10(Use Windows 10 Your Way)
虽然我们不确定Microsoft将来会在帐户创建过程中采取哪些步骤，但这两种方法应该允许您暂时在没有Microsoft帐户的情况下设置Windows 10 。我们很乐意听取您的意见，这些步骤是否对您有用。在下面的评论中发出声音。
How To Setup Windows 10 Without a Microsoft Account
If you’re trying to set up а computer, you’ve рrobably noticed that there are no altеrnate оptions to logging in with a Windows account. This is especially so for users jumping to Windows 10 from Windows 7, where you could easily ѕet up and sign in normally without a Microsoft account.
In Windows 10, the option to sign in with a classic local Windows account, which was hidden behind the “Offline Account” option, is no longer there. You aren’t able to setup Windows 10 without a Microsoft account. Instead, you’re forced to sign in with a Microsoft account during the first-time setup process – after installing or while setting up your new computer with the operating system.
Microsoft wants to create a seamless experience so that you have some of the same features across your devices. Plus, it syncs your settings with your Microsoft account, such as your PC theme and stored passwords.
Still, you’re tied to a Windows account whether you like it or not. You’ll have to sign in with a Windows account before creating a local account. Thankfully though, there are a few ways you can set up Windows 10 without a Microsoft account, which we share in this guide.
Local Account Vs Microsoft Account: Which One Is Better?
A local account is the classic way most people sign into their computers. This is where you click on your user account, enter a password, and start using the computer. You can still sign in using a local account on Windows 10, but you need a Microsoft account first in order to create a local account by going to Settings > Accounts > Your info > Sign in with a local account.
The good thing about using a local account is that you can use it to download and install free games and apps from the Windows Store without using a Microsoft account, and use system applications like Mail and Calendar.
On the other hand, a Microsoft account is a single account that’s free to use for signing in to multiple Microsoft cloud products like Outlook.com, OneDrive, and Skype among others, or devices like Windows smartphones and Xbox game consoles. You can also download paid apps with a Microsoft account and access all Windows 10 features.
The idea behind the policy on local accounts in Windows 10 is to find a balance between Microsoft accounts and user expectations, while still offering as many features to local account users as possible. You can still use the local account on your Windows 10 computer, and then use the Microsoft account to download and install apps from Windows Store.
Other perks of using a Microsoft account with Windows 10 include free cloud storage through OneDrive, syncing account settings such as network profiles, managing passwords and Windows Store app settings, and a familiar experience across apps and devices.
The main drawbacks of a Microsoft account are that it’s hackable, needs internet access to use the latest saved settings, offers less privacy, and automatically syncs your settings across your devices. If you get locked out of your account, you also won’t be able to access other devices you use with that account.
How To Setup Windows 10 Without A Microsoft Account
Windows 10 tries to make sure you use a Microsoft account, but you can create a local account anyway using the steps below.
Note: If you’re using the Home version and you’re connected to the internet, you won’t be able to setup Windows 10 without a Microsoft account, so the first step is to disconnect from the internet.
Windows 10 Home
- If you’re connected to your network using an Ethernet cable or WiFi, the first step is to unplug the cable or disconnect your computer from WiFi. For WiFi connections, you can skip the process at the beginning of the setup wizard by clicking the back icon on the Windows 10 Setup toolbar, and then try and create a Microsoft account.
Alternatively, press Airplane Mode key on the laptop to disconnect WiFi or unplug the router for a minute, if all else fails. When you see the “Something went wrong” error message, click Skip to skip the account creation step.
- In the Who’s going to use this PC screen, create an offline account and sign in to Windows 10 without using a Microsoft account.
Windows 10 Professional (Pro)
If you’re using Windows 10 Professional, you can create a local account by selecting the Domain Join option at the lower left side of the setup screen.
If, for some reason, you don’t see the Domain Join option, you can still use the same trick we’ve described above for Windows 10 Home, disconnect from the internet, and create the local account.
Created A “Dummy” Microsoft Account
If the first method doesn’t work for you, it’s still possible to create a local account using the steps Microsoft recommends. Create a Microsoft account during the setup process and then change it to a local user account later.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account, and open Settings > Accounts.
- Click Your Info on the left pane.
- Next, click Sign in with a local account instead. Windows 10 will guide you through the process of switching to a local user account.
Once you have your local account, you can delete the dummy Microsoft account from the system.
Use Windows 10 Your Way
While we’re not sure what steps Microsoft will take in the future over the account creation process, these two methods should allow you to setup Windows 10 without a Microsoft account for the time being. We’d love to hear from you whether these steps worked for you or not. Sound off in a comment below.
