Re: Standalone versions need an MS Account

The standalone apps don't need an internet connection to work, especially if you're also saving lcally.

With regards to a MS account, there's usually no need for one if you're installing whilst offline, disconnect WiFi and/or network cable during install and both Windows and Office usually skip the MS account check.
