I created my windows 11 install stick with Rufus, it actually has an option to disable the requirement for a windows account when creating the bootable stick

nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 1 year agoIf true ew. I actually just recently learned that Windows 11 requires a Microsoft account (you can disable it by going into the registry) but it officially actually requires it. Fuck them.

Well you can log in without one, but that requires many unintuitive steps.
For example one of them is to login with wrong Account information.

No registry edit necessary. Just use the email no[at]thankyou.com, write any password. Windows will throw an error, press continue and voilà, you can create your local account.
Rufus also has an option for local accounts and for removing TPM/SecureBoot requirements.
