Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

To be far this command was only needed for win 11 Home. Pro did not need a command as the option is available through normal prompts windows gives you.

I think that option was removed even on Pro a pretty long time ago, no? At least the last couple of times I installed W11 Pro the graphical option was nowhere to be found. It used to be available easily enough that anyone could choose it if they didn’t blindly click Next, then it got more and more hidden away and now I’m 99% sure you need the command unless you prep the ISO using Rufus and its function to create a local account for you. On that note, I wonder if this will affect the Rufus method too…

It is under sign in option when you get to it then choose domain join. This get you to create a local account.

And it still tries to convince you to go MS account with it’s, “even better, create a Microsoft account” link that’s conveniently located where the Next button should be.

All I know is i been doing this for 6 months upgrading companies from win 10 to 11. I am sure you’re not doing something wrong.
