I just set up a mew win11 desktop today, to have a local account you need to enter a command into the hidden terminal via shift F10, then restart the setup process, only this time the option “I don’t have WiFi right now” shows up and lets you continue with a local account.
First thing I did was ran a debloat script, mcafee now has a games launcher being shipped! HP thinks you need 9 programs, including OMEN gaming, smart photos, and an app manager to manage all those apps you didnt ask for. Windows didnt get to say much before the script edited group policies to rid of nags.
And before anybody (yes. You.) says anything about Linux. I use it every day, but im not about to make old pops have to relearn everything he barely knows about computers, he refers to bookmarks as icons.
