The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.
And yet, I haven’t seen it once on any of my computers 🤷
That’s the magic of setting up a local account instead of a Microsoft account and actually turning shit off during the install sequence instead of just mindlessly clicking next. That said, I’m not sure you can do first time setup on Win11 with a local account. I know Win10 made it harder later on than on release. You can still set one up after the fact, but I’m not sure how useful it is on 11 since I refuse to install it.
Also don’t the setup as if your location is in Europe, you can still use the time zone and keyboard you want
You can skip the MS account, but it takes effort.
Do NOT connect to the internet, or you’re hosed and will have to start over.
SHIFT+F10 to get a command prompt.
cd oobe
bypassnro
It’ll reboot and now you’ll have options to skip the MS account for a “limited experience”. Once you get a desktop, connect to the internet.
You also choose an English (international) as your language, to avoid the preinstalled crapware in the start menu.
Man windows sounds complicated. Why do you have to open a terminal and do weird hacky workarounds for things
Not even ‘for things’ just to kinda own your own computer that you paid for (til they patch that)
You can, it’s just got a lot of hoops to jump through. Easier in the pro version for work, but I just set the email to a@a.a and then it errors out before letting you make a local account.
its on any default windows 10 install. unless you modded it.
No mods, just setup as if I was a European
oooh i didnt know it was better in europe. i would guess win11 ads wont happen to you either.
its full of ads here in south america, and probably most of the planet.
