You can temporarily turn off your Microsoft account on the device without using the local account setting. Check if there are other methods or settings available in Windows 10 version 20H2 that allow disabling licenses linked to your account.

It seems you can only "log out" from the account. You’ll have to set up a local account or use Windows with Ethernet disconnected and run it under a local account.

This link provides guidance on removing a Microsoft Windows 10 license tied to an account. It may be useful for users looking to free up their system or manage licenses.

You can sign in with your Microsoft account and take your PC off it. This was what I did after my Mobo stopped working and I used the same key on a new Windows 10 PC. It could also help you.

You can create a local account yourself, though Microsoft handles it if things get tough. Just log out, go to the sign-in button for a Microsoft account, and in the menu find the option that’s missing, then they’ll let you set up a local account.

I recently used this on a fresh office setup. As soon as the internet is connected, it asks for an account.

The local account feature isn't available; possibly a Microsoft family restriction applies.
