    This will be outdated soon.

    They basically admitted at a security conference (I think) that part of the roadmap for Windows 11 is to actually prevent Windows from running unsigned apps period, and you better believe getting past that will require an Enterprise license.

      If true ew. I actually just recently learned that Windows 11 requires a Microsoft account (you can disable it by going into the registry) but it officially actually requires it. Fuck them.

        No registry edit necessary. Just use the email no[at]thankyou.com, write any password. Windows will throw an error, press continue and voilà, you can create your local account.

        Rufus also has an option for local accounts and for removing TPM/SecureBoot requirements.

        I don’t think you need to with either a professional or enterpriese account (I think professional). Do need to with a home account though which is extremely annoying.
