    We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

      I don’t even use Windows, but this “it’s for security lol” pseudo-explanation is so blatantly false that it’s pissing me off.

    I mean where will Microsoft stop with this ? So force people to create accounts, people create accounts, then remove them and only use local accounts or find some other loophole. Then what ? Lockdown windows usage until you have a Microsoft account with a real phone number, always connected and at least one up to date copy of birth certificate or passport ?

    Isn’t the money from selling microsoft products enough ? Or is the AI slop that nobody wants so expensive to develop?

      “Enough money” is a phrase that simply doesn’t make sense for a lot of people, especially the sociopaths that run companies.

    I probably won’t be able to install windows 11 then… Guess this is why win 10 is gaining userbase lately.

        You can join Windows 11 pro to a domain. In the setup you create a new local user that you use to domain join the machine.

        If you never domain join it you just have a local user.
