      I for one get all my opinions from Elon Musk. Saves time and energy trying to come up with my own!

      He’s literally wrong. You can set up windows 11 devices without a sign in.

      While being wrong about this, the idiot forces sign in to use twitter…

    I’m going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.

      You don’t even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.

        I had to figure out the command to bring up the command console to not log in with a Microsoft account. It was super dumb. I had to turn something off in the system as a workaround, which meant a bunch of googling.

        There is zero reason for me to have a Microsoft account associated with my computer just to use it.

        Edit: This was on setup of the pc. Don’t remember the commands, but should be easy to find on google.

    You don’t have to. It isn’t required. I setup end points everyday with local users.

      For the general consumer Microsoft is making it as hidden as possible to make a local user during installation.

      When I had to reinstall windows a month or two ago the option to make a local machine user was not there until I unplugged the ethernet or brought up a terminal to force the installer to show the option.

        To be fair, for the average consumer there are huge advantages to using a MSA.

        Both Windows Hello and OneDrive bring both security and convenience to non-technical people in a big way.

        There is no good reason the average non-techie user should be using a local Windows account in a cloud world.
