RUFUS will build you a Windows installer that automatically bypasses the Microsoft Account requirement.
It also lets you bypass TPM 2.0 and lets you remove a lot of bloatware so it doesn’t even get installed in the first place.
The lower half of this meme is getting old to the point of being a bad joke. No-one does this except normies and people who buy pre-built systems that come with Windows already installed.
The other one I’ve noticed is that they’ve stopped shipping necessary drivers with the install iso now, so if you do make the decision to install fresh, enjoy using the nipple on your Lenovo laptop because the trackpad and network driver didn’t come with the iso.
I’m so unbelievably tired of being a windows admin

So tired of keeping like 10 different ethernet dongles, 5 of one model and 5 of another, because half of the new laptops can’t even connect to the internet with the windows install ISO due to lack of drivers.
Sometimes one of those 2 models will also refuse to work with the windows ISO, so ig fuck you if you’re trying to install windows on more than 5 computers at the same time.
Oh and of course you still need to do the bypass even if you don’t have drivers for the network card. Ig also fuck you too if you don’t know about it, because you’re never gonna install windows on that laptop.

Welcome back to the Win95/98/SE/XP era. Where everything old is new again.

The point isn’t that an easy option for the bypass exists, but that a bypass is required at all. It shouldn’t be.
A clean install will need a USB installer anyhow. So build it with RUFUS and enjoy the lack of a manual bypass.
So the majority does this, then?
So… Every business ever, then?

Actually insane how far we’ve regressed in Windows land
It really feels like Ubuntu in 2008 whereas current Ubuntu or any other Linux Distro is infinitely easier to deal with nowadays.
MS has just fumbled the ball at every turn.
It has been intentional. They know what they are doing.
Still true that bypassing TPM means major upgrades are disabled and requires manual install by iso?
