Image description: Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 42m Just bought a new PC laptop and it won’t let me use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which also means giving their Al access to my computer! This is messed up. There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account. Are you seeing this too? This is not cool of Microsoft.

shift + F10 to open a command prompt during the out-of-box-experience setup bit.
Type OOBE\BYPASSNRO and press enter.

Your computer will restart, and you will have the “I dont have Internet option” allowing you to create a local account
