Windows 10: I set up a new windows 11 device and do not want to use my email after setting up my...

I only want a local account, not one associated with my email. When setting windows 11 up, I could not override that step. If it matters I am using a surface pro 10 for business my device is personal and not associated with my business or IT restrictions. Please help.

Yeah unfortunately ASUS and Realtek are not stepping up and fixing this it seems. Wherever I see such problems mentioned on forums some users are suggesting just uninstalling the Realtek driver and using the Windows audio driver.

 

Setting up email account on the new PC.

Hi AudreyCannon1,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

I would like to let you know that Mail and Calendar for Windows 10 are new apps from Microsoft to help you stay up-to-date on your email, manage your schedule, and stay in touch with people you care about the most. Designed for both work and home,
these apps help you communicate quickly and focus on what’s important across all your accounts.

• If you have tried to setup the account on the PC previously, then did you get any error code or message?
  
• To get a better picture, I would like to know, are you are setting up the email account in the Mail app or the Microsoft Office Outlook application?
  

If you are configuring the email account in the Mail app, then suggest you to follow the steps from this article.

‘Set up email in the Mail app for Windows 10’

Further, if you are trying to set up iCloud account, suggest you to refer to these articles to see if that helps.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Based on the description, I am assuming that you are facing difficulties in setting up the PC with the Microsoft account.
In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

• What is the Version and Build of Windows 10 installed? (Type winver
  in Windows search/Run command)
• Did you create a Microsoft account with double m in .com?
• Do you have any other user account created on the PC?
• When you say "typed in the current email we use but added an extra "m" on the .com" where did you type in the email with extra m?
  
• When you say "now it sends codes to the incorrect email. how do we change it" are you referring to the alternate email where you get the code?

Scenario 1: If you are able to login to the PC with the account, then convert this account to a local Administrator account and then convert back to Microsoft Account with the correct
email account.

Steps to covert to local account.

1. Press Windows + I key to open Settings.
   
2. Select Accounts and click on Your info from the left pane.
   
3. Click on Sign in with a local account instead.
   
4. Click on Next. And follow the onscreen steps.

Note: Don’t set a password.
