  It’s not a requirement on Android. Like at all. My Windows 10 also isn’t signed into Microsoft Account.

    There absolutely is a minimum age requirement to set up a Google account, which you can see from their Ts & Cs. Whether that is enforced is an entirely different question.

        You're welcome to Google "device-based age verification" to get any answers you need, from wiser minds than mine.
