Unelected immigrant with illegal unfettered access to all data in the entire federal government complains about having to have a microsoft account to use Windows.
Wait the richest asshole in the world uses regular windows like poor commoners?
Because he has access to many sensitive data, shouldn't be using windows enterprise with a finely tuned group policy by some AD guru??
Remember when it was possible to browse Twitter unrestricted without having to sign up with an account? Those were good times.
Somebody's mad Bill said he was craaaaaaazy
For anyone reading this that has to install Windows, when you get to the point where it asks you to log into a Microsoft account, hit shift+F10, type oobe\bypassnro into the command prompt and after it reboots select "I don't have an account"...
I would still maintain that Linux is a better option though.
Nope, the Steam Deck has been my daily driver, I love it.
He's so fucking stupid.
I've had 2 instances where the Shift+F10 method didn't work on a Windows 11 Home edition install. 1 was a brand new HP laptop I set up for a friend. It came with a bunch of bloatware so I created a bootable USB and reinstalled the OS. It didn't pull up a command prompt when I tried the command no matter what I did. The second was at work. I accidentally let it update during the setup and afterwards it accepted the bypass command, but still never gave me the option to log in without a Microsoft account. I have a feeling they're phasing that option out for Home.
At least Pro has the domain join option. Still it sucks that Bitlocker gets set up automatically and associates the key with the first Microsoft account you sign in with.
Political relevance be damned, anyway...
You can press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.
Execute OOBE\BYPASSNRO command then.
After this, setup will reboot the computer and after reboot, you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement.

I switched to Linux Mint a few weeks ago and it was eye-opening
Lots of people in this thread calling him out for not doing the bypass, and I really don't want to be defending him, but he did try too. The issue was that the computer automatically connected to a nearby open wifi network so was not presenting the no network option. I'm completely sure that no bad actors are going to take advantage of this fact to infect new machines.
So now he's busy dismantling what little consumer protections are left in the US. Makes so much sense.
Yet his Swasticars strip every ounce of data from it owners…
If only someone would reply to him with the screen Twitter displays when you try to read a post while not signed in…
Broken clock.
He deserves it
Elons... Right... 🤮
Folks, this was a year ago.
I am pretty sure he uses Linux because he said something once that seemed linuxy. I forget what. Does he seriously use Windows or is this more "edgy humor"?
With Linux so easy to use, it's hard to understand why someone would use Windows unless they had a really low intelligence and struggled to learn anything new (like they had a brain disease, developmental issues, etc.) or if they were using it it in an enterprise or virtual setting.
It must be a joke.
I guess when you're a head of state you gotta be careful about what goes on your devices.
Fuck, even more garbage into out AI garbage dump.
