Microsoft is soon heading to force its Windows 11 Pro users to create a Microsoft account and internet connection for the initial preparation process.
The new requirements for Windows 11 Home, which required an internet and account since its launch in October last year.
Once the change enters into implementation, Windows 11 is the only main operating system that requires an account to reach basic jobs.
MacOS from Apple allows you to create a local account during preparation.Android is the same by transporting you to the main screen without logging in.
Even the Chrome OS operating system, which is a cloud -based operating system, has a guest mode for primary browsing without an account.
Microsoft wrote at the Windows Insider Blog: Like Windows 11 Home, the Windows 11 Pro version now requires a connection to the Internet during the initial preparation of the device only.If you choose to set up a device for personal use, the MSA is also required for preparation.
The rule should not affect those who have a local account that has been prepared or those who use a user name and password dedicated to logging in the work devices.

Regardless, users are upset, and make the condition to log in is difficult to donate or sell computers.Or use the system image via many devices (as required in some companies).Or prepare a computer for another person.It also gives Microsoft a way to collect more data on users.
One of the users said: As a owner of a store to repair computers, technicians have to obtain Microsoft account information for people in order to reset or re -create the computer now.
Dozens of people via social media threatened to use a different operating system or delay the update to Windows 11.Others think about alternative solutions.
It is possible that this requirement will enter into force in the coming months.Until this is done, Windows 11 Pro users can skip the login process by cutting the internet connection during preparation and choosing a local account instead.
