Situatie

With the latest versions of Windows 11, Microsoft is pushing harder than ever to require a Microsoft account during installation—especially on Home and Pro editions. For users who prefer a local account, this can be frustrating.

Rufus is a free and lightweight utility for creating bootable USB drives. As of recent updates, Rufus allows you to modify Windows installation media to skip several annoying setup requirements, including:

• The need to sign in with a Microsoft account

• TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot checks

• The 4GB RAM minimum

1. Download the Latest Version of Rufus

Go to the official Rufus website: https://rufus.ie
Download either the portable version or the installer

2. Download the Official Windows 11 ISO

You can get the official ISO directly from Microsoft:

• https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

Save the file locally.

3. Plug in a USB Drive

Insert a USB stick with at least 8GB of storage. Make sure to back up any data on it, as it will be erased.

4. Open Rufus and Select the ISO

1. Launch Rufus

2. Under Device, select your USB drive

3. Click SELECT and choose the Windows 11 ISO file

4. Rufus will analyze the ISO and detect that it’s a Windows image.

5. Customize the Installation (The Magic Step)

Once you select the ISO, Rufus will prompt you with a new window titled:

“Windows User Experience”

Here, you can check the following boxes:

Remove requirement for an online Microsoft account
Remove requirement for TPM 2.0
Remove requirement for Secure Boot
Remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM and 64GB+ disk

You can choose all or just the account-related ones, depending on your needs.

Click OK to continue.

6. Start the Installation Process

Once you’ve configured the options, click START in Rufus.
It will:

• Format your USB drive

• Copy the modified Windows files

• Make the USB bootable.
