This is why I make students install a copy of Windows without the use of a mouse.

Mr.Gates is not in Microsoft for years, but yes

Surprised there wasn't a conspiratorial reference to covid testing in the meme tbh

[-] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago

Switched to Linux... got tired of them changing the settings for me with updates.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Bill Gates no longer works for Microsoft. He couldn't care less about you're data.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Let us hope he is not just data but an actual person.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

No, you're data!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That's the part of joke

Welcome to “windows as a service”. At this point Windows is basically like a freemium app.

Wait, you're paying for Windows?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Part of the price when you buy a computer.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

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/

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

OOSU10 is also helpful if you don't wanna mess with install media.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Our internal documentation for setting up a windows VM literally says "Press 'maybe later' for the next 9 screens"

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Every year that passes makes me happier I switched to Linux only instead of dual booting. Happy Debian user here.

Spoiler alert, when you hit accept all tabs go back to "on".

You guys should try making your install media using Rufus

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

To be honest, I'd forgotten that "installing windows" was a thing

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I LITERALLY do this every single day at work

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

If this is is actually your job you should look into automating it, you can configure it once and have it auto install with the same settings each time

Does it required a microsoft account now? Or can we still install it without connected to the internet

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

I think it's still technically possible with some workaround but they indeed kind of killed offline accounts with Windows 11

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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.
