How do I setup M365 on a new PC without using my personal login? #M365AMA
In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:
“I have been switching new computers over to Microsoft 365 accounts instead of setting up a local admin account on the machine. What is the best way to setup a handful of computers without using my login credentials? I know in a domain environment I would have a domain admin account I could use. But would this work the same if I setup an unlicensed admin user, just to setup the computer? I don’t necessarily know who will be using the computer right away, but want to get a jump start on setup, so I can hand the device over and they can just log in.”
