In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.

I too installed Win11 Pro several times on computers too, captain obvious. I know you can do that now.
I am asking that how did you reach to the conclusion that they won't remove it in later builds from the article itself.
Cause they are taking about a command you have to run and for businesses you still have a lot that use onsite DC vs cloud. To join ad the account will be tied to the DC for login not MS. This is not going away anytime soon.

A couple of years ago it took three tries to install windows without a bunch of junk added. Linux is the way my dudes and dudettes.

This is purely anecdotal but my last pc build was ASUS mobo and its absolute shit tier. I promised myself never to spend another dime on anything ASUS ever again.
I got it cause it had good reviews. Asus ROG strix. I should have stuck with my gut and gone MSI or Gigabyte.
ASRock is my go-to now. Funnily enough they split off of ASUS a while ago. One continually got better, and the other worse.

Just another reason to switch to Linux

Fuck Microsoft! Use Linux Mint

I tried setting up a dual boot Mint next to my Win 11 last night. Just so I can experiment with getting all the (replacement) programs of my Win 11 install to work on there… froze during install and was busy for hours getting my boot files for Win 11 back.
I’m not a technical genius or anything and now I’m scared to try again. I assume it’s way easier if I would just rip the bandaid off and do it in one go. Sadly too much relies on me still being able to use the computer close to the way I could before. Ah well. Another day, another chance to nuke the boot files.
Windows 11 seemed to kick and scream relentlessly to make coexisting impossible. So I called its bluff and nuked its stupid ass. It refuses to play nice? OK; It never gets to play again. Fuck windows. I have a separate machine for windows if I really need it.

I'M OKAY WITH MAKING A WINDOWS ACCOUNT.
I'M JUST NOT OKAY WITH MY ~/ PATH BEING C:/Users/Jacobuedhbcuycbdhh55674c4bhdncy6448774/
THIS CAN BE FIXED BY CREATING A LOCAL USER AND THEN SIGNING INMaybe your parents should have picked a better name then.

I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don't allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

Exactly!
My answer to everyone saying "but Linux is hard..!"
No, it’s DIFFERENT!!
If using Cinnamon was your first learning experience on a computer, you’d think Windows is the worst user experience in the world!
I've always thought that Unix (and therefore Linux) was much more internally consistent and accessible than Windows ever was.
Everything is in places that kind of make sense, there's heaps of documentation that comes with the system, you can set it up how you like it, you can see everything... There are actual logs that aren't hex gobbledygook...

Basically. It's essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.

How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.
This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information?
I could think of a few reasons and none are nice...I guess this does not apply to Enterprise editions, but only to filthy peasants like us

Not wanting to seem like a windows fanboi in the slightest, but.. I guess they're saying that if you log in to your windows box using their cloud authentication, then they can better protect your account, force regular password changes, force password complexity requirements.. and because they're in a position to see all auth attempts against that account, they can react to attacks.. having said that. a lot of those advantages go away if you're not actually connected to the internet.. but then, you also lose automatic updates.. it's a difficult question.. I can see how it could be better for a non computer-savvy user to log in using a microsoft account, but that also makes is worse and more frustrating for advanced users who don't want to touch microsoft's cloud at all. I guess they made the decision based on what was better for the majority of users.
then they can better protect your account, force regular password changes, force password complexity requirements..
if that was the goal, they wouldn't be saying on the password input screen to "choose the most simple password", and especially they wouldn't accept that field to be left blank
if you are not logged in, they can't setup onedrive to automatically steal all pictures and documents of the unsuspecting user, and they can't setup bitlocker with a cloud key that they could use to lock you out of all your data when they think so

What is Windows 10 LTSC? LTSC is the abbreviation of Long Term Servicing Channel. It is a stripped-down enterprise operating system based on a specific version of Windows 10. Windows 10 LTSC don’t have pre-installed apps such as Microsoft Edge, Cortana assistant, News, etc. Using the LTSC service model, you can delay receiving feature updates and only receive monthly device quality updates.
Holy SHIT they made a version with the worst stuff removed AND they're going to maintain it longer? That is the version everybody should be using.
I'm slowly switching to linux but there are things I'm going to need Windows for for the foreseeable future, and I think I've found how I can make that happen. Thank you.
yes but they make it hard to access, and it has legal issues too so you maybe shouldn't use it in a business setting

what happened in 1903 that made you say enough?

I just bypass the requirement by installing Linux Mint instead
I did the same on my media center mini PC.
Any idea how to check/enable HDR? -

Hey all what do you suggest for a school and game dev laptop with Linux for a ~$2k budget? I've been eyeballing framework but keep hearing mixed things

Is mint still using that old gnome fork DE? KDE Plasma might be a nicer and still familiar experience for people coming from windows
