A constant cat-and-mouse game of Microsoft disabling every method to do so as soon as they become somewhat popular is not "relatively easy".

- jqpabc123 9mo agoReally? I haven't had any problems, even with computers that don't meet the official hardware requirements. Download the Win11 Pro ISO, extract it to a USB drive and then execute the command below from it for a totally automated install that bypasses all the BS. .\setup.exe /product server /auto upgrade /EULA accept /migratedrivers all /ShowOOBE none /Compat IgnoreWarning /Telemetry Disable You're welcome! PS: I know it says "server" but when upgrading a desktop machine, desktop is what you will get --- minus a lot of BS.
- josephcsible 9mo agoI believe you that that way works today, but once knowledge of it starts to spread, I expect Microsoft to break it, just like they previously broke Shift+F10 "oobe\bypassnro" and "start ms-cxh:localonly".
- jqpabc123 9mo agoIt has worked all along and MS can't break it because I have the ISO that it works with. It's unlikely it can be broken without totally abandoning the server market and disrupting a lot of existing installations --- which would be a marketing disaster.
- alt227 9mo agoThere will always be a way to create local accounts in Windows because they are intrinsic to how windows actually works.
- josephcsible 9mo agoThere may always be a way, but every few months the existing way will stop working and people will need to discover a new way.
- alt227 9mo agoThats exactly my point, they will keep closing loopholes but they will never truly stop people doing it without removing local accounts completely, which they cant do.
