I installed Windows 11 last year without cloud account.
Maybe because it's Pro version? I don't remember doing any incantation but it's possible that I didn't connect internet during installation.
- tannhaeuser 2y agoIt's not possible using the current install process, not even on Windows Pro (tested with a fresh install on a notebook that had a Windows 10 Pro OEM license registered/activated like is typical). The various hacks to trick the process don't work anymore.
- hu3 2y agoOuch. The only reason I use Windows is because as a consultant clients make me use a bazillion different VPNs which often works better/only in Windows. Otherwise I would use something like Xubuntu. So it's sad to know that my next Windows machine will require a Microsoft cloud account.
