I did this on Windows 10 not because I didn't want my Microsoft account linked but because I wanted my username to by my first name and not like part of my first and part of my last name.

I feel like recreating my account as a local one for this reason. I hate not having control over the filesystem and hate not having a normal looking username

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

For real, I've been less annoyed with some of the usernames work has given me than the shit Windows 10 thought was a good idea.

They work fast dont they? How long has this loophole existed in windows 10?

[–] devilish666@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Well there's some dude out there that recompiled windows 11 with some shitty laptop, cigarettes in his hand, & some beer into useful windows & lighter

Damn you Microshaft!!!!

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago

We noticed this a few months back. There are still other workarounds.

for my main computer, sure, fine, whatever. I'll sign into my Microsoft account, I don't mind. but my Plex/Minecraft server... maaaaaaannnn come the fuck on. I guess my server can just stay windows 10 for the next 20 years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They can shoot their foot with a grenade launcher next. I'm already out of range.

Does Rufus installer still give the option to bypass all this BS when flashing a windows ISO to a USB?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago

Better. And it doesnt even require a modified wim:
During OOBE setup: Shift +F10
then input OOBE\BYPASSNRO
