Try using the scanner on an newer HP printer without creating an HP account.

Speed - speed tests mean nothing, just indications, it's the router synchronisation levels that matter
Price - ring Sky at any time (in contract or not), renegotiate prices (threaten to leave, speak to retentions), check new customer prices first, they generally match them.#
HTH
In and administrative PowerShell console,
Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object { $_.PackageName -match "xbox" } | ForEach-Object { Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online -AllUsers -PackageName $_.PackageName }
Replace xbox with phone, removes all Xbox and Phone Link crap.

You may want to look what those IFR (interchange fee regulations) are actually about.
They are the fees the BANKS pay on card transactions (between banks) , they are NOT the Merchant Fees paid by retailers to Payment Service Providers

A few comments re cmdrklarg post,
Shift + F10 - just tried this on a fresh out of the box laptop (Asus), does not work any longer (think MS have killed it)
Can use Windows Key + R - launches the run dialogue, can't use command (cmd), can launch Task Manager (taskmgr)
Unable to run command prompt - this could be due the version being S mode (got message about MS apps only)
Task Manager - can see 'Network Flow', can end task, but it just relaunches.
Appreciate the other comments about Rufus, I am aware of this, but I'm addressing OEM builds.
So, I feel my solution works in all scenarios.
If MS have killed the shift + F10 trick, how do you setup Win 11 if you don't have a network?
That 'forced' MS login can be avoided (if you know how)
A - during initial setup, User = fuckoff, Password = microsoft, oops something went wrong, bingo, local user account.
2 - create local account after first MS one, don't have details, bingo, local account (delete MS one).
Note - check hard drive encryption, I don't like it so turn it off (most Home users are better off as data could possibly be recovered).
Now, virtually ALL helplines direct you to look at their totally (un)useful FAQ / Help / Troubleshooting on the Web (I'm calling as I have connection issues, idiots!).
Even better, call BT (in the UK) from a mobile, they send a text and cut you off (bigger idiots), avoid by prepending 141 to their number.
In an Admin PowerShell instance,
Get-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online | Where-Object { $_.PackageName -match "xbox" } | ForEach-Object { Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online -AllUsers -PackageName $_.PackageName }
Then change xbox to phone, removes all xbox carp and the dreaded Phone Link
There is no 'requirement' for an MS account, they just want you to get trapped in their walled garden.
Use fuckoff (user) and microsoft (password) when asked to sign in during initial setup, oops something went wrong, local account dialogue presented.
