My laptop needs be connected to my office domain but I still want to have a local admin account.

So I have one account for the domain (for work).

But when I create another account, a local admin account, it is still connected to the domain and whatever restriction set by the domain still applies (e.g. cannot use PIN login).

How to I disconnect the local admin account from the domain at the same time still able to log the another domain account for work?

Thank you.

Local admin account mean you own the PC but there is a saying I read "if the PC in under domain then the PC is not yours."

Wouldn't the account created by your office domain be the admin account? So, you can't create another admin account

The office domain account (login) is not an admin account.

I have another local account which is an admin account. But it is somehow still bound by the restriction set by the domain, for example I cannot use PIN login.

So is there a way to use the local admin account without the limitation set by the domain? Maybe disconnect the domain only for this local admin account.

The laptop is yours or does it belong to the company?

Mine, as we also have a BYOD policy.

Then tell your IT department that you require a local admin account
If they insist on a non-local admin account, tell them to provide a laptop to you instead
