How to Install Windows 11 Without a Microsoft Account
When installing Windows 11, you will need to enter the email address of your Microsoft account, and if you do not have one, you will need to create it. This is not necessary for Windows to work properly and the only reason this is required is because Microsoft wants to steal and sell your private information. Fortunately, there is a way to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account.
Also, we suggest you download and use WinSlap as soon as you finish installing and updating Windows, before installing anything else. This program will delete or at least hide most of the bloat Microsoft has crammed into Windows 11 and make it at least a somewhat usable operating system. Don’t get confused that we wrote in the post that WinSlap only works on Windows 10, because this program works without any problems on Windows 11 as well.
Watch our video tutorial where we show you how to install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account.
