Microsoft continues to push users away from local Windows accounts. The Windows 11 installer can no longer easily bypass the requirement to use a Microsoft account, but users can always switch to a local account after installation, and Microsoft even offers instructions on its site. This instruction has now disappeared for unknown reasons, but the possibility remains.

On the technical support site, as you can easily guess, there is an instruction “Switching from local to Microsoft account”, which helps to abandon the use of the local user account in favor of the Microsoft user account. An instruction explaining the reverse process was previously posted on this page. Migrating from Microsoft computer to local computer. It has now been learned that this instruction, published on June 12, disappeared from the site on June 17 and is still not available.

Actually switching to local UZ usage is quite simple. In Windows 11, you need to launch the “Settings” app, open the “Accounts” section, go to the “Your Information” section and select the “Sign in with local account” option. Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

The reason for the disappearance of instructions for switching to local UZ use is unknown. Most likely, Microsoft wants as many users as possible to abandon the native operating system. In this way, the process of interacting with Windows-based devices will be similar to how interacting with Android or iOS devices occurs, where users must be authorized using Google or Apple’s user interface respectively to access all functions.
