    The more funny part of this statement is he’s too fucking dumb to Google “set up windows 11 without Microsoft account” and follow exactly 3 steps to bypass the OOBE wizard.

      To be fair, the option is pretty easy to miss for someone who isn’t technical. Font size -11000 and grwy or whatever, though I might exaggerate.

      They break whatever process people use whenever they feel like it.

      Whether the loopholes are incompetence or just for the sake of them being able to claim “you don’t need an account”, they definitely aren’t stable and consistent options. And it’s pretty clear that at some point they’re going to cross the line and just make you have an account.

        What? Ctrl+F10 for Command Prompt and then oobe\bypassnro has always worked, and I don’t see Microsoft removing it anytime soon. Who do you think put the bypassnro.bat script in the OOBE directory on every Windows installation media?

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

        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.

    He’s an idiot. You don’t have to sign in to windows 11 to set it up, I literally do this daily. Not to mention corporate computers shouldn’t be seeing the personal computer sign in screen to begin with unless it’s in the hands of IT like me who would know what to do with it.

    There used to be a skip button until about a month ago. Now, you just have to input bad creds and move forward.

    Unlike Twitter, which actually locks down most of its site without an account…

    Idiot just doesn’t like getting called out for his idiocy and hypocrisy.

      Oh, there’s no way Elon wants a machine with a company image on it.

      He probably bought a Win11 S-mode laptop, not knowing what that was.

    Enough fucking Musk spam, we already know this. We didn’t need some rich jackass to validate this.

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