Windows 11 AzureAD login vs local login
On Windows 11, how do you switch from an Azure/AD logged in account to a local user. Have an associate who setup his own computer and we need to switch it back to a local account due to some AD issues. We set a local account and then go into account settings, but the option to switch to local login is not there. At the login screen for the other user it only prompts for an email address or phone number, you can't enter anything else.

When you log in with a local account, it will create a new user profile so you won't have direct access to the info. I would back up the old info first then you can copy it to the new profile.

Thanks for this, will it destroy any software installs installed on local drive or only the AzureAD profile and Azure controlled info? I can make a copy of the profile as you suggested.
Thanks
It won't affect the software installed on the laptop.
most software is installed for all users. Some software can be installed for just me
Open in new window
i.e.
net user /add david Pa$$w0rd
net localgroup administrators david /add
at the login prompt select other user and use .\username for it to use the local user that you created.
