After Windows 8 was introduced, Microsoft also released Windows Store, which implies in using a Live Microsoft account in order to access and download apps. This is similar with what we have on Android or on iOS where when you first start using a new Android or iOS powered device you have to sign in with your account in order to access Google Play or Apps Store. Thus, when installing Windows 10 you will be prompted with the following message “Sign in to your Microsoft Account”. But, what should you do if you don’t want to use your personal Live Microsoft account when installing a new OS? Let’s say that you just want to perform a clean install for a friend, at work or in any other circumstance where using your Microsoft account isn’t recommended. In that matter you should take a look over the guidelines below in which we’ll explain how to install windows 10 without Microsoft account.
How can I set up Windows 10 without using a Live Microsoft Account
Create a local user account
Another thing you might do in order to skip the registration sequence will be to temporarily disable (during the installation or update process) your Internet connection. Of course you will be then prompted to sign is with your Microsoft account as soon as the internet connection is being established, but still this is a trick that you might use. So, that’s how you can create a local account when installing Windows 10 for being able to apply the OS without using the Live Microsoft Account.
