Real question here: has anyone else had luck side-stepping the Live365 signup during/after install? I've done this, and I'm very confused that more people haven't.

iirc when going through the setup after a fresh install, I used sign in and typed in an email like [email protected] with a keysmashed password. Because it’s obviously not an actual account and with a password that wouldn’t be correct, it’ll say as much but still let you continue into windows without signing in. Hope that helps

This stopped working about 1 month ago. OOBE\BYPASSNRO method can be used to create local account.

Ah, thanks for the new info on that! I’ll have to save this for later if I need to reinstall Win11… again
