I want to say no because not everyone is going to have an ms account. They might try to force the creation of one, but as of right now it is not a hard requirement.

The thing I always pissed me off is regardless if I set my time upon setup it'd always go to pst time and not cst time and force me to change it on each time I'd install on a new computer. Why...

Nah, MS account is only required for home editions. I imagine @lexluthermiester went for Pro?
Uh, tell the government to clean up their mess of timezones and daylight saving? Lol
You have to go to the Store and update your apps. Some people probably had the updated Paint app delivered to them already.
Mind you, this new version is shipping only to Windows 11 insiders. Not sure if it will be instantly available on the RTM release.
Be that as it may, and besides what Lex has already said, Microsoft also kinda left the door open with Dev builds actively not enforcing CPU model and TPM compliance, as long as all the other requirements are met (storage, RAM, etc)

I've been testing both Home and Pro. However, I've not tested Home with build 176, 184 and 194 yet. Are they enforcing the account creation with Home now?
That can already be done with WinAeroTweaker.Update Start11 lets you move the taskbar in Windows 11

I've not tested Home, but I thought they were still requiring it? I think you didn't have to keep it around, just for the install.

Did I mention the irony that I had to install Win 11 with the bypass trick on my secondary rig because Win 11 would install okay with TPM on (full mobo/cpu compatibility etc), but would nor boot? even with a BIOS update.
Anyway, I've had smooth ride so far with nothing to report and when the time comes to install it on my main rig, it will be a clean install, even if it's a headache having to reinstall everything. At least it's clean that way and I'm not in a rush.

Did you try a bios default? Hmm... So after it installs and after the restart after the first 1/2 setup it just doesn't boot and says "No OS" or whatever
And... What's with these preview updates on its fixes for earlier versions? I don't get it. Why haven't they updated lol

I'm sure you aren't if you don't limit it to the limited set of supported hardware.
And it will always drop performance, anyways. The question is how much. Newer supported hardware has less of a penalty, not none.

Ok, testing complete. Yes, Home does still require an ms account. So yes folks, go with Windows 11 Pro if you want a local account.

It looks really good. And if i could afford 1000s for a new computer, I'm sure it would would run good. Still don't understand why people need windows though.

Mainly brand awareness and popularity for example I'd guess a good percentage use IPhone's for the brand not the ease of use or security. Opensource os's are free so inherently have very little brand awareness, people know about Linux, Unix,temple os from users and word of mouth so the likelihood of someone who just uses their computer for emails, word processing and web browsing going with anything other than Mac or Microsoft is extremely slim. People also just aren't interested most of the time my brother in law is young and plays pc games occasionally but has no idea what ryzen is but understands the difference between intel models.

We talked about it. Near nonissue since it can be turned off and only is on by default on cert'd hardware where the penalty is minimal anyways.
Not for HDR there isn't, sadly.
My linux stint ended when I needed more than 32-bit color.

Really? Is that a licensing issue? I'm quite surprised since steam has been pushing Linux as an alternative.
Even using crappy HDR on my va panel TV is a requirement for me now.
