We just did it this week with Windows 11 25H2 with the regular OOBE setup.

This is insane. I am using Windows without a Microsoft account regularly. It is 100% possible. I hate Microsoft too but it’s completely ridiculous to go around spreading obvious bullshit like this.

Setup process now officially requires using a Microsoft account

You do understand that official setup requirements is not the same thing? Whatever Microsoft tries to force during a setup process doesn’t change the fact that I am literally using Windows multiple times per week without any Microsoft account so claims it’s impossible are untrue.

Effectively speaking it doesn’t matter, if you cant set up a Windows PC without a Microsoft account that means for most people you cant use Windows without a Microsoft account, you’re being pedantic. Yes someone could type a million shell commands during install and then download a scetchy debloater script but at that point you might as well just install Linux if you’re that comfortable with the terminal.
