    It’s funny because I’ve built like six Windows machines and the install process is always a snap. You just select what drive to install to, what telemetry options you want on/off, and then press start.

    You don’t even have to have an Internet connection/Microsoft account if you don’t want to, you can just create a local one.

    I don’t understand how you guys have such a hard time with it. Certain distros of Linux are pretty easy to get going, but Windows is only hard if you refuse to leave your Linux knowledge bubble, ever.

    Sure we can talk about how you have to go in and do X and Y in order to get it configured how YOU want, but that shit applies in Linux too.

        I’ve never installed Windows 11 outside of assisting company IT, but we have install media/network based images we can push.

        I’m referring to W10, I don’t like 11 at all.

        when I installed Windows 11 Pro yesterday, there was no obvious option to install without an internet connection and a Microsoft account

        Christ on a fucking cracker man, leave the fucking ethernet cable unplugged
