Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users

  There isn’t much stopping them from patching the workaround and forcing a setup screen right after the update. I’m glad it works for you, I’m just not interested in making excuses for a three trillion dollar company .

  The point being that he paid for the software and he shouldn’t have to get around if

    I agree, but I’m just pointing out that it’s possible to get around it. Microsoft fucking sucks, but I want people to know ways around stuff so they aren’t wasting time and money if they don’t have to.

        I’ve never worked with Linux and I get so drained from work, that I don’t even want to look at a computer when I get home. Idk if I have the energy to learn Linux lol.

      What is the way around Microsoft accounts during 10/11 setup?

        10: put no@thankyou.com as the email and whatever the fuck you want as a password. It’ll give you an error then let you proceed with local setup. That’s if it forces you to connect to the Internet. I prefer saying I don’t have Internet and choose the limited setup option.

  It’s just annoying to get around.

  This right here is exactly why I jumped ship. Linux questions tend to be “How do I do this?” and ya learn something.

  Microsoft questions tend to be: “Windows is trying to force some new commercially motivated shenanigans on me when I’m just trying to use the OS I already paid them for, how many clever steps must I take to work around their unending, ever-evolving nonsense… Until they pull something else with the next update?”

  The complete obfuscation of making local accounts and pushing M$ accounts was infuriating.
