Switch to Linux if you can. But if you are stuck with Windows for whatever reason, you can install Windows 11 and use a local account, by creating a Windows installation media using Rufus. You can also bypass the requirements for TPM 2.0, and skip privacy questions.
If you already have Windows 11 installed, you can switch from online account to local account:
- Go to the Settings app,
- Proceed to Accounts > Your info,
- And select “Sign in with a local account instead”.
Trying to ask someone to talk about Windows without mentioning Linux is like trying to see how long someone into CrossFit goes before they talk about it.
