Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account

There are plenty that will boot/install Linux just fine but won’t do a nice clean install of Windows 11.

Modern Thinkpad E16 (AMD) is one of them, a clean USB won’t work, it will always stick at not finding required drivers.

You need to inevitably create a USB install from the MS USB Media Creation tool, running on the machine itself from the included crapware Windows - to get an installer USB that will work.

Different if you’re just pushing a wim over the network from endpoint/scm, but it’s basically broken for local users.
