Not disagreeing with you, but doesn't Windows 11 force non-pro users to use a Microsoft account, and then pro-users can open the terminal and disable their wifi and the system that checks for wifi so they can bypass the Microsoft account and then re-enable them afterwards? Like, I don't want a Microsoft account to use my PC, personally. I have literally less than zero interest in using garbage like OneDrive and other Microsoft services out-of-the-box.

I don't know the methods myself as I haven't used them, But yeah I have heard something like that can bypass the live account requirement.

And yeah, i disabled onedrive myself because due to how old my stuff is I have a ton of stuff in the documents folder that...basically caused me issues and at one point nearly got all that stuff deleted when onedrive capped out.

But that's another story I guess. I can't say i'm using it to it's maximum ability.
