I’m using NTLite for the last two years to make “custom Windows” that gets rid of much of these data-grabbing s**t. I recommend people here to try it.
You have tons of features like disabling default shit like teams, photos, the much-hated media player, default apps etc. And enable local account creation without resorting to Shift+F10 to CMD and typing the bypass command there.
It also cuts off the other versions of Windows 11 that you don’t want in the boot media. I recommend this software over others because you only need to customize it once before you install the OS. Here
Yeah nah… I think I’d rather take a FOSS mod tool. Or, you know, stay in Linux at much as i can, as of now.

Hey Microsoft , how about https://youtube.com/watch?v=cMTAUr3Nm6I
You need to let it go!
I’ve been pretty happy with the win 10 privacy tool. It gets rid of a lot of the telemetry and let’s you chose what bloat to remove.
I just bought a used laptop that came with windows 11. After all of this data collection crap it started blue screening after I installed the first set of updates.
Pop Os has been running flawlessly.
You guys should try making your install media using Rufus

i really like ventoy, but when i tried to install fedora a few months ago it wouldn’t work for some reason. I switched back to just flashing one iso at a time now through the recommended way since i usually don’t need more than one iso anyway.

Yeah that’s what i use mostly now
I recently created win11 install media with rufus and I was amazed with what it can do. Makes the whole install a breeze since you don’t need to turn off the telemetry and log in to M$ account. All around plesant experience
IBM Fedora in a year
Does it required a microsoft account now? Or can we still install it without connected to the internet
Yeah, but you can create local account.
With the installing media running:
• Shift+F10 (opens cmd) >
OOBE\BYPASSNRO• Continue until getting to creating account
◦◦ Account >
[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]◦◦ Password > *enter any random password*
• […] > How would you like to set up this device > Set up for work or school
With an existing system:
• CMD >
net user /add <username> *E: Wording.
Nice info, gonna try it later. Thank you
Edit:
Is it working only for windows 10? Or can the same applied to win11?
I heard that you can insert any invalid email address.
I think it’s still technically possible with some workaround but they indeed kind of killed offline accounts with Windows 11
It’s not hard at all, when making an account one of the options is to make it offline/local only. Sure it’s a small link below the big buttons but it’s there and not hidden.
I reinstalled Win11 last month and I think they removed that feature. now you have to Shift+F10 and type the bypass command in CMD.
That’s how it worked in Windows 10 and possibly early versions of 11 but as far as I know (not a Windiws user so take it with a grain of salt) that’s no longer the case and they even patched some of the workaroundssoo you have to find a current one
It used to be that way, but last time I tried the only way is to disconnect from the internet otherwise it will force it.
I just made an offline account 3 days ago on a windows 11 machine so I dunno what to say man
Yeah but I turn on airplane mode and it doesn’t need an account anymore. Lpt for those of you out there.
Actually, better tip, use Linux.
That stopped working for home editions of windows. On pro you can say you are joining a local domain, but on home you have to use a workaround, such as the bypass command or a locked out account.
Thats sad, soo the only way is either using the Pro Version, or the LTSC version?
True, but i still need to keep a copy of windows for my average Joe friends. Not gonna preach the hard way thought, i want them to slowly convert to Linux hahaha.
Especially more and more games arw supported in Linux, either native or via proton
Me myself, already using Linux for the past 3 Years :D
Every year that passes makes me happier I switched to Linux only instead of dual booting. Happy Debian user here.

What’s the best way to get it?

Like what communities? Never saw a megathread here.
The illusion of choice
Our internal documentation for setting up a windows VM literally says “Press ‘maybe later’ for the next 9 screens”
Mr.Gates is not in Microsoft for years, but yes
Surprised there wasn’t a conspiratorial reference to covid testing in the meme tbh
Click, Tab, space, Tab, space, Tab, space, Tab, space, Tab, tab, space
This is why I make students install a copy of Windows without the use of a mouse.
Slipstreamed windows is the only way. Skip all this bullshit and pre-remove all the bloatware fuckery too. Highly recommend if you are installing windows regularly: https://techcult.com/how-to-slipstream-windows-10-installation/
OOSU10 is also helpful if you don’t wanna mess with install media.
