Image description: Elon Musk & X @elonmusk β’ 42m Just bought a new PC laptop and it won't let me use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which also means giving their Al access to my computer! This is messed up. There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account. Are you seeing this too? This is not cool of Microsoft.

shift+F10to open a command prompt during the out-of-box-experience setup bit.Type
OOBE\BYPASSNROand press enter.Think it stands for something like Out Of Box Experience / Bypass Network Requirement O-something.
Your computer will restart, and you will have the "I dont have Internet option" allowing you to create a local account
