  • Microsoft removes guide on converting Microsoft accounts to Local, pushing for Microsoft sign-ins.
  • Instructions once available, now missing - likely due to company's preference for Microsoft accounts.
  • People may resist switching to Microsoft accounts for privacy reasons, despite company's stance.

That has been err "fixed" some time ago. You cant open the command window during setup anymore

You can. I downloaded the (german language) setup iso from microsoft about 3 weeks ago.

I tried it a couple months ago on a laptop, didnt work. But it also already came with a W11 install, maybe thats why

Tried it just yesterday with the multi edition iso direct, downloaded from the ms web page.
But as I am in Germany and my region is the EU/in Germany we get a different treatment.

Or it's just the OS the OEM delivers that is BS :p
