@GossiTheDog Did Windows 11 remove the option to skip over using a Microsoft account on the dialog prior to the add your Microsoft account dialog that Windows 10 had?

Yes, they did. Now you need to try logging in as a nonexistent account to get around it. But they will never rest until they trick you into turning on the rich flow of customer data and force you into entering their sales funnel. Get out that credit card!

@segv11 @EvilKiru @GossiTheDog Disconnecting from the Internet before installation worked for me, it jumps to local account creation. Idk if this still works for win 11 tho, haven't tried.

@EvilKiru @GossiTheDog They removed it in Windows 10 for home versions a couple years back...

yep, even for Win11 Pro. You need to use Enterprise to create a local account AFAIK

@DeltaLima @EvilKiru @GossiTheDog The wrong credentials trick still worked as of last Friday. I wonder how long that’s going to work, and after that when (if?) the EU forces them to provide an option for local accounts without having to sign in first.

@EvilKiru @GossiTheDog Later versions of Windows 10 eliminated the option, you have to unplug/disconnect your network before you get to that step in order to be able to create a local account.
