Is there no longer an option to use a local account if the internet isn't available?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I followed a guide on YouTube to install windows 11 without an account. It also helped me disable a lot of crap.

Despite what people tell you in here Linux isn’t an amazing alternative if you don’t want to spend time setting it up to be a replacement.

I’m a software engineer and when I leave work I don’t want to be solving more problems.

I am the furthest thing from a techie but I have been using Linux for several years. Never in a million years could I return to windows.

Linux doesn't break often in my experience

I may be wrong on this, but I believe they don't give you that option, and just ask to be connected to the internet before continuing setup. You can, however, do some shenanigans to open up command prompt, and after a little bit of typing in commands from the internet and restarting your machine, you can then skip the account login and just make a local account.

No I am not seeing it I use Linux

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

See? That's why you're not a genius like Elon Musk! He knows that Linux is too hard!

Don't you need to create an X account just to look at posts on X?

Don't you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

For the world’s smartest guy, he sure is stupid

Anyone who thinks he's the smartest guy at anything has been organically lobotomized by a brain worm

Wait we don’t live in a meritocracy after all?

We know how this ends

  1. Elon complains
  2. Elon buys
  3. Elon destroys
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Microsoft has a market cap of over 3 trillion.

Musk is crazy stupid rich times a million, but he's an order of magnitude shy of being able to bully Microsoft with his wallet. With the resources of the US government, sure. but not his checkbook.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

If Elon destroyed MS, that would be a net positive.

Click domain join instead and then create a local account

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That option only shows up when you set up Pro edition unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I feel like someone as rich as Musk probably boight Windows Pro.

Shift F10 opens a command window, OOBE\bypassnro

Or run ipconfig /release

This will disconnect your internet connection for a moment and allow you to create a local account.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ah yes, that well documented command that any regular user is going to know about...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

All I can come up with is snarky comments. Sorry.

If you are savvy enough to be outraged at it, you're savvy enough to look up the commands to bypass it in 2 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

RTFM oh wait it's Windows.
