Create User Account Without Using Email Address In Windows 8

Last Updated on October 12, 2020 by admin 2 Comments

When installing Windows 8, towards the end of the installation, you will be prompted to enter your email address to use it as a Microsoft account. When you sign in to your PC with your Microsoft account, you can easily download and install apps from Windows Store, sync settings online, and access your files and photos from anywhere.

Users who buy a Windows 8 PC or tablet and set up a user account for the first time will be given options to create a user account associated with Windows Live ID or a local account without using Live ID.

Users who would like to stay away from this feature and want to create a user account without linking an email address can opt for a local account. If you don’t like to sign in with a Microsoft account during Windows installation, simply click on “Don’t want to sign in with a Microsoft account?” option and then click on Local account to create a local user account, just like in previous versions of Windows.
