    it won’t install the OS without making you create a Microsoft account

    I’m not pro-Windows by any means, but this simply isn’t true.

      Yea, kinda. It forces it hard though.

      There is no obvious way to skip the MS account. You can select that it is a managed device and create a local user that way, but afaik that’s the last option left and obviously it is there for a very different intention.

      I am sure that if MS could remove it completely they would.

      You need to open a secret command prompt and type in a command. The person I was replying to is apparently deathly allergic to typing out simple commands in a terminal, so he certainly wouldn’t be able to get around it.

        Um, no you don’t. I mean you can do it that way if you want I suppose, but you can just use the good ol’ decline button too (repeatedly, on various screens, with your network cable unplugged. Fuck Windows)

        You don’t need to open a secret command prompt or type a command to not install without an account lmao. Linux fanboys just keep on lying to support their dying OS It’s hilarious haha.
