Windows 11 Local account
I posted this elsewhere in this thread but figured it may not be very visible there, and may be useful to someone...so...
Haven't tried this, as no Win11 machine, but...
During installation when it asks for your MS email account name type something silly such as "1@1.com"
Type in a silly password such as "qwerty" and click "Sign In"
When it says nope, try the password again.
Keep clicking "Sign In" until you eventually get to a. "OOPS Something went wrong" message and it locks the account which doesn't exist anyway. DO NOT USE A REAL ACCOUNT ADDRESS.
Then you get to create a local account!
As I say I haven't tried it but been told it works. It's a bit of a faff, like disconnecting the network was in W10, but not too bad...IF IT WORKS! Which I give no guarantee for and Microsoft still has time to block this faff too.
I'd be interested to know if this really does work.
