Windows 11 local accounts

If you have recently bought a new device, PC or laptop, it will have probably come with Windows 11 pre-installed. Sadly, Microsoft are making it harder to set this up with a local user account, forcing users to create a MS account and signup to their services.

There are a few ways to work round this and some of these are detailed in the video below (not by me, I am just sharing)

I would suggest you watch the video right through, then try this, that way you can see a few steps ahead.

Take your time, esp when setting up the new account so that you don't end up agreeing to something you didn't intend to.
