If anything, I'm even further disincentivised to log in if they're threatening to remotely copy my hard drive. That just sounds like a scam.

Pro Tip: You can create a local only account on a New PC as long as you skip connecting to wifi during setup.

    With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn't work anymore.
    But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus' options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.

    Why would you want Windows 11? Great tips, though.

    Quite a lot of people in my country still use Windows 7, even 4 whole years after support ended, they really don't wanna give it up.

    I wonder if the same will be true for Windows 10.
