I recently had to install Windows 11 and did so by downloading an ISO and flashing it to a USB. To my surprise the latest version of Rufus (https://rufus.ie/en/ https://rufus.ie/en/) can detect if you are using the official Windows 11 ISO and let you skip the initial setup and create a Windows 11 local account. You can also disable the TPM and processor requirements IIRC. IDK how it even does this, I guess it modifies some boot menu when writing the image. Win 11 still sucks but this makes it much much better.
