How To Create And Add Local User Or Administrator Accounts On Windows 11 Without A Microsoft Account

In this video, I will be showing you how to create and add other user accounts to your Windows 11 PC without a Microsoft account. Other user accounts added without a Microsoft accounts are known as local user accounts or offline user accounts. This is because these accounts can be created without an internet connection and used offline. Other user accounts added with a Microsoft account, can access your apps, files across your PC and all online Microsoft services. Therefore, other user accounts created with a Microsoft account have productivity advantages, however, when internet access is not always available or when the user does not have a Microsoft account and doesn't want to create one, offline user accounts created without a Microsoft account have a use case also. By default, when a new other user account is added to your Windows 11 PC without a Microsoft account it is automatically a local user account. You do have the option after creating the other user account to change it to an administrator user account

1. Navigate to your task bar to the Windows Start icon and right click on it
2. Click Settings
3. Click Accounts
4. Click Other users
5. Click Add account
6. Click on the blue hyperlink text "I don't have this person's sign-in information"
7. Click on the blue hyperlink "Add a user without a Microsoft account"
8. Pick and enter a username and password
9. Click Next
10. Your other user account with your chosen username will now be created as a Local user account by default. To change account type to an Administrator user account, click on the arrow to the right hand side of your new other user account and click on "Change account type". A small window will open, change the account type from Standard User to Administrator using the drop down arrow and click on "OK" to complete the change.

thanks for posting this. I just setup a windows 11 acomputer for the first time and I was in a hurry, I was doing this for a family member and needed to drop it off. Anyway I didn't noticed the third option, create a User without a Microsoft Account. I guess I just didn't notice it since I was in such a hurry.I had gone through the process of creating Microsoft Emails (I figured by doing it this way I knew the computer would setup ok and then run the updates). Anyway thanks for posting it.
