During the setup process, the Home Edition of Windows 11 makes it necessary to use Microsoft Account, while the Professional Edition of Windows 10 provides the option to setup computer using both Microsoft and Local Accounts.

In both cases, the first User Account created during the setup process will be an Administrator Account, which grants permission to make system related changes, Install Apps and make other changes on the computer.

Once the computer is setup, Windows 11 provides the option to Create Local Accounts, which by default will be Standard User Accounts with limited privileges.

Hence, the only way to Add an Offline Local Administrator Account on a Windows 11 computer is to Create a Local Account and grant Admin rights to this User Account.

1. Add New Local Admin Account in Windows 11
