Is OOBE their replacement for BSOD? Because that occurred with or without an internet connection....
And Microsoft wonders why the Win11 adoption rate is actually going DOWN, not up, as the Win10 EOL is imminent (one week from today).
If you want to use the same OS for free forever, go Linux.
I have a Windows 11 that has only a local account.
It is very frustrating to pull the tricks needed, to do that.
The Dell I bought came with Win 11. So I am okay as I am right now?
Wouldn’t that give me an Msft account?
I just want it ( and the laptop) to work as they do now.
Wow, no account, no windows 11 is my policy too!
Microshaft and I agree on something!

Go to Outlook.com to establish a Microsoft outlook mail account. This is your new Microsoft account. Use this when installing Windows 11.
After the Windows 11 installation you don’t use your outlook mail account again. I did this two weeks ago
Send me a link to your best penquin. Please.
Sorry but just a couple of days ago, I brought my laptop out to the porch, fired it up, attached to my docking station.
It didn’t take my password. I have three laptops with the same password. For ten years. I couldn’t get in until LUCKILY I found my Micro$oft account setup and password.
Once in, I’m still stuck with the PW but they’ve encrypted my drive! No permissions, no notice, no choice, no nothing.
Now if they can do that then I can’t believe they can’t see everything on my drive. I’ve always been careful not EVER using the word ptnt - you’ll figure it out.
Now I figure whatever “security” they claim - my system is online. Not to mention that all the big guys have back doors to all the major systems. Sux.
Crp.
I use Verizon hot spot. It's on only if I'm on the web, which isn't pretty much constantly.
What happens if I choose to do nothing? Will Windows 10 still operate? Can I continue using Windows 10? What happens if I don’t get any more updates?
Thank you for sharing this, I was going to post about it this morning. And support ends for Win 10 on the 14th...
It really is time for folks to actually get off their butts and switch to Linux before it is too late.
I made a Microsoft account. Problem solved. I could change to Linux, but I got Win 11 for free and it works. Apple requires an account as well. I can’t bring myself to get upset this.
Linux
CachyOS is my new favorite. Extremely quick.
Vwry interesting lowdown on ms account requirements., shortish video (26 mins). Wow! Seriously 5hinking about taking my windows 11 OFFLINE for good! It does all kinds of crap behind the scenes when you sogn yp for an account, even down to the hardware changes apparenrly.
IF i keep it online, Ive gotta find a way to run it completely in a sandbox so that any new updates that are sneakily done without my consent will be undone once i shut down. Not sure though how ill be able to update programs which would be the onky reas9n for me go8ng online with it though)

The shift-f/10 to bypass account setup still wo4ks for now, but it wont work for long. The video go3s into how to work around the requirement for ms account
Note, if you dont want to view whole video, copy video link, go to notegpt.com and put link in box and it will summarize the video pretty well in written form for you. Much quicker. Ive got notegpt bookmarked just for that scenario.
