There's a tiny little white link on the bottom right side of that pane that says skip and then multiple panes after that with "yes, I'm really sure. F off Microsoft".
Still extremely easy to miss and hilarious that he did.
It‘s not actually there in current windows versions. It takes some sort of workaround and I think you actually need to use the cmd. It is possible though.
last time i installed win10 on my desktop, the skip option definitely wasn't there, tried googling but couldn't find a solution so i had to create that damn account. next day my laptop that i need for school wouldn't let me log in anymore without an account. that day i joined team linux. btw i wonder if it would force that ms account crap if you had no internet at the moment?
Just use Rufus to make the USB... I mean, it's fairly simple to use it, and it asks you IF you give it a Windows ISO if you'd like to skip these things. There are other tweaks as well, like no BitLocker by default.
Not since 11, even the no network trick doesn't work. With Windows 10 if you didn't give it a network it was like oh okay, I guess local account is the only choice.
Windows 11 has a screen that says it can't find any WiFi or Ethernet adapter, and that you need one and connect to the Internet. It really doesn't want you to not have a Microsoft account, you have to kill the whole setup in cmd and make the local account yourself. It's insane.
I ran into this 2 days ago. Turns out if you sign in with no@thankyou.com and type in a bogus password it will just say "oops something went wrong" and you can create a local account.
No, that's literally not an option anymore. The installer won't let you proceed without an internet connection unless you do the Shift+F10 oobe\bypassnro trick then have to wait for it to reboot.
No thanks. I don't want fake ass engineer Musk doing cringy programmerhumor tweets. He's already a edge lord with video games and I really don't want to see more communities propping him up because he tweets "sudo rm -rf hahahaha I'm sudo man" or whatever his cokebinged brain tells him
Nowadays you have a hard time seeing posts on Twitter without being logged in. Dude tries to create an outrage over something he does himself and that is even easier to avoid.
Jimmy Carr called him that on the Big Fat Quiz. Last time I wanted to punch that guy was when he was on JRE calling comedians philosophers. Time before that was when he got caught dodging taxes.
I mean, SpaceX is still a legitimate success story... I think that has a lot to do with Gwynne Shotwell and the engineers dedicated to pushing forward spaceflight, but as much as I despise him and even kind of want SpaceX to crash and burn just to spite him, if I'm being honest it is still the one thing he's touched that is a legitimate success, both technically and commercially.
Luck has nothing to do with it. Daddy's apartheid emerald mines money and megalomania got him there. He didn't invent anything, he's just a glorified investor. All of 'his' successful companies are other, smarter people's ideas he 'stole' by forcing them to make him 'co-creator' as a requirement to invest his cash.
It's all about pushing a narrative. If he did it the 'normal way', he would probably be seen as a decent VC, known in some business circles but in the shadow from a general audience perspective. By making himself the 'co-creator', he deperately tries to makes us think he's the genius he believes he is, and gain the power and influence that come with it.
There are positions in all these companies where people are working roud the clock to prevent him from fucking everything up. And sometimes, even they can't prevent idiotic bullshit like the Cybertruck. Tesla and SpaceX work because they actively spend a massive amount of energy to work against his moronic ideas. Twitter is the best example of what happens when he's given free rein.
As opposed to an "Apple Laptop" because fascists are weird. And perhaps he's talking about Microsoft copilot being shoved into windows 11. But this is a very generous read. By no means do I like the guy.
I think he's more angry that Microsoft dares to pressure their users to give their ChatGPT thingy data instead of paying him, the big Elon to give them "X: the partisan shitstorm collection, remastered edition"
Wow, Elon, you think it's bad to give one company full control over something? You think someone should step in and stop them? You think closed ecosystems are bad for customers? HMMM
If you disable the Ethernet/WiFI then you can create a local account, but you have to do a small.extra step...
press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.
Run the following: OOBE\BYPASSNRO
After this, setup will reboot the computer and you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement and you can create a local account as well.
Or, when it asks for your email address and password enter a@a.com and any random password. It will tell you that account has been deactivated and allow you to set up a local account.
Yeah, when I need one I buy one from eBay for about $8. Sure it's probably a bulk licence that's been setup on a stolen credit card, but in all my years of doing this I've never had one of these licences revoked.
You can install windows for free. The only difference to the paid version is a reminder in the bottom right corner to activate windows. And that can be disabled with a registry edit
