Good pro tip, will check that out.
Was unsure you could remove them! Honestly it feels so weird using Microsoft machines now; I’m very unused to feeling so transparently that I am the product (although Samsung tv s having ads seems pretty bloody rude as well)

Why wouldn't you be able to remove them ? Nobody would have used this if ads were not removable.
Just right click -> remove.

I think if you don't have an internet connection while installing you will be able to create a local account too?
Pro tip I discovered by accident: If you type in any gibberish account name/email that doesn't exist, it will throw an error and move on with the setup without needing an account. No need to fuck with cmd line registry incantations or rufus.

Why didn't you remove them? I always do that.
