How Do I Setup Windows 11 With a Local Account?
Summary: I do not need the use of Microsoft One Drive for backup purposes and I want to use a local account to ensure that the device boots up and restarts as simple as possible and does not stop and require a sign on password.
Windows 11 based computers (for example Tobii Dynavox TD I-110 devices) may have to be setup with a Microsoft Account initially and then changed to a local account by doing the following:
- From the Windows Start Menu, select Settings.
- At left, select Accounts.
- Under Account settings, select Your Info.
- Under Account settings and then to the right, select Sign in with a local account instead.
- Select Next.
- Enter the Microsoft Password.
- If desired, edit the User name as appropriate.
- New Password - leave blank.
- Confirm Password - leave blank.
- Select Next.
- Select Sign out and finish.
- Select Sign in when prompted – this is the only time this will need to be done.
