Windows 11 will force everyone to get a Microsoft account
Microsoft really wants you to have an account for Windows 11. Very soon it will be impossible to install the OS using your local account. This applies to the Pro version, since the Home version already imposes this limitation.
According to Windows Latest, Windows 11 22H2 will bring this innovation. Without an Internet connection, the operating system simply cannot be installed on your computer. Windows 11 Home already requires a Microsoft account. When a user installs the OS for the first time, they must be connected to the Internet in order to enter their email address. It is not possible to use a local account, as is the case with Windows 10.
This provides benefits such as OneDrive or automatic connection to Microsoft software, namely the Xbox app or Outlook. However, not everyone wants to have an online account to use Windows 11. Users have always managed to find tricks to create a local account, such as no internet during installation or deleting their Microsoft account after starting the OS for the first time. However, Microsoft is very careful to remove these alternatives.
Therefore, in the near future, you will need a Microsoft account to use the Microsoft tool. As a reminder, this big 22H2 update is due in October.
Last week, Microsoft released the traditional monthly “updates on Tuesdays” (Patch Tuesday) for its operating system. According to feedback from users who installed the update on their PCs, the Windows 11 update was not without problems.
As users began to complain on social networks and on forums, the update can slow down SSDs and other boot drives, reduce download speeds, and so on.
For example, in a Reddit thread, user mesp21 says his NVMe SSD has more than halved its speed, from a nominal 7,000 MB/s to 3,000 MB/s. After removing the update, the speed returned to its previous values.
This post has received quite a bit of replies, with other users confirming that they are experiencing similar issues. Panellists also noted that game loading times were “noticeably” slower, and that there were “stutters” after the patch was installed on Tuesday.
Another user, Mrbigdog99, shared a screenshot showing CrystalDiskMark test results before and after the update, showing a significant slowdown:
