When a Windows 11 leaked build app<\/a>eared on the internet, we discovered something surprising. It appeared Windows 11 Home REQUIRED a Microsoft Account and Internet access to set up. If you were hoping that would change when Microsoft announced Windows 11, we have bad news<\/a>: It didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s Windows 11 event gave us plenty to like. Customized desktop wallpapers for all your virtual desktops, better multi-monitor support, and support for Android apps all come to mind. But a few details here and there weren\u2019t so great. If you like moving your taskbar to the left side of the window, that\u2019s not an option<\/a> in Windows 11.<\/p>\n

And if you don\u2019t want to use a Microsoft Account to set up Windows, you can\u2019t buy Windows 11 Home. As Microsoft confirms on its requirements page<\/a>, Windows 11 Home forces you to connect to the internet and sign in with a Microsoft account to complete setup. We saw this in the leaked build.<\/p>\n

While Windows 10 tried to hide the local sign-in option, and you could get around it by disconnecting the internet, that\u2019s just not an option in Windows 11 Home. All the local sign-in options are gone. And if you disconnect the internet, the setup process won\u2019t let you move until you reconnect.<\/p>\n

The only option is to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro (or buy a machine that comes with Pro). You might be able to set up with a Microsoft account then switch to a local account, but that\u2019s not guaranteed yet. Microsoft didn\u2019t promise that capability, and while the leaked build includes it, that could change. After all, the leaked build didn\u2019t have a lot of features Microsoft announced at its event.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s hoping that\u2019s an option for those of you who don\u2019t want to stay on a Microsoft account and can\u2019t upgrade to Pro.<\/p>\n
