It is possible to setp this Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 laptop without a Microsoft Account. Here is a link to more information: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-windows-11-without-microsoft-account. This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 model number 81X800KLUS, ships with Windows 11 S-Mode, 64-bit Operating System installed. Windows 11 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 11 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. If you choose to switch out of S-Mode for Windows 11 Home: Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode
