Although to be fair, I spent yesterday at my Mum's and tried to scrap
her old Windows 10 PC for a new windows 11 PC. I've never used a Windows
11 PC. I lost the will to live, when the log on process demanded a PIN
and a Microsoft account, no way could she understand that with her
dementia.

 I don't know if they plugged the loophole but previously if it wasn't
connected to the internet you could create a local user and go on with the
install.

Last I heard you can't anymore. If you have no internet connection, it will create a temporary account but the moment you connect the machine to the internet it immediately forces you to make a Microsoft account which then replaces the temp account. The only way around that is if you have a AD/DC on the network and your using Windows Enterprise. Then you don't need a Microsoft account (nor do you need a Microsoft Azure/Work account either). I could be wrong but that's what I heard last from a buddy of mine who provisions windows machines for the company he works for.
