Microsoft is adding a new change to Windows 11 Pro, which might not be liked by all. Users will now be required to use a Microsoft account and internet connectivity to be able to access their laptop or computer during the initial setup process. The company announced the change with the recent announcement of the recent Windows 11 Build 22557 for Insiders in the Dev Channel.
This new change will be similar to how Microsoft requires Windows 11 Home users to meet these two conditions. Up until now, Windows 11 Pro users could easily set up a new laptop or PC by logging into a local account, which didn’t require an internet connection. However, this won’t be the case now.
Plus, it makes Windows the only operating system that requires users to sign up/log in online in order to access the basic laptop or computer functionality. Android, macOS, and even Chrome OS easily allow people to access the device without the need for logging into an account. However, if you wish to bypass this limitation, we have already published a guide on how to create a local account in Windows 11.
