I set up my Windows machine by creating a local admin account that is never used online. It's only for administrative tasks like installing software. After the admin password, non-admin accounts are made, usually MS online accounts. With Windows 11, can I still do this without having an admin account online? I prefer using different admin passwords for each machine.

If Pro is set up, you'll need to go through some steps to make it function properly, though it might seem challenging at first. You can still achieve it.

Urrgh, is this some sort of scam to get people to upgrade to pro? While my wife does want to have a windows box, I might consider avoiding the hassle and just not get one. Unlike a few years ago, my need for a PC outside of work is reduced.
