Do you need a Microsoft account to use the store?

Can you use Windows without a Microsoft account?

[arielcostas]

Yes. At least in 11 Pro installs, you can just say you'll be joining to a domain, create a local admin account and never actually join it. Then to create other users you can do it via the command line, or probably through the GUI after telling it you don't want one a couple of times

Yes? I use my Windows 11 with a local account, no microsoft account involved.
