It doesn’t take a million shell commands or sketchy scripts to deploy Windows without a Microsoft account. I literally did it just last week. I think you are being pedantic and moving the goal posts, the claim was that you need a Microsoft account to use Windows and that is not true. You may be coerced into using one depending on the version and install method but that’s not the original claim that was made.

You do understand that official setup requirements is not the same thing? Whatever Microsoft tries to force during a setup process doesn’t change the fact that I am literally using Windows multiple times per week without any Microsoft account so claims it’s impossible are untrue.

This is insane. I am using Windows without a Microsoft account regularly. It is 100% possible. I hate Microsoft too but it’s completely ridiculous to go around spreading obvious bullshit like this.

This is not correct. You can use Windows without a Microsoft account.
