In order to get out of using the M$ft account for my dad on win11 I had to disable secure boot, use regedit, etc and it was all very dark and time consuming. Microsoft is The Worst.

You could've just logged in with me nothankyou account. You'll be prompted to create a local account with no hassle whatsoever after.

Still pretty terrible that it's necessary, but it's really not a big issue to get around

You can always utilize [email protected] and it will go straight into creating a local account.

There are much easier solutions than that. I've not tried the sibling's idea, but just not connecting it to wifi, pressing shift+f10 and running "oobe\BypassNRO" is enough. It's still ridiculous and shameful behaviour from Microsoft, but disabling secureboot isn't necessary.

That works for the initial logon attempt, but after that the computer was locked in “S mode” where it doesnt allow you to install anything. In order to get chrome running we had to do the above.
