Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them (www.xda-developers.com)

  • 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.

Windows 11 Enterprise likely uses a different OOBE, I just tell it to join during setup. At work, everything is image-based and pre-configured so no standard OOBE.

Like most things at MS, those with the resources get everything they want while the little guy gets screwed.

Ah yes, I forgot about the existence of Entrprise edition. I've just never dealt with a business that paid for such a thing, I guess.

Yup, you can DL enterprise Win11 for free to, just gotta know how to grab it from MS.

Shit, I was just looking at massgrave the other day, didn't realize they had direct links. Thanks a bunch.

Haha, I work for one of Microsoft’s biggest customers and they still treat us like shit. Trust me they don’t do favors for anybody. They honestly do not care.
