Preferably from 2020 onwards and without the need for a mandatory product key/Microsoft account, I’ve already had a lot of headaches because of these two “casualities”!
To bypass the forced Microsoft account you can create a unattend file and pre configure the ISO to make a local account.
I should have done this when I set up my computer, I had to manually change it after I set up Windows 11. I don’t have anything against logging into my Microsoft account but having the actual account on the computer be a Microsoft account instead of a local account feels wrong. What if my account gets hacked, I’d just lose access to my computer!
Yes and the better option if you do want to use a Microsoft account. Just login to the apps like onedrive on the local account.
