Prep Win11 PC For Sale?

Software & Operating Systems Windows
1

So I’m selling a computer with Windows 11 on it. Of course I’m going to do a full wipe and go through the setup first, that way the customer can see the specs in Windows before buying. But now that Windows requires a Microsoft account login to set up, that process has become unnecessarily complicated.

I know there’s a terminal command you can run at a certain point during setup that will temporarily disable the requirement, but is that really the only way? If so, then so be it. But it’s really annoying.

I don’t see this problem when installing on virtualbox 7. Do not give the PC access to the Internet.

I got that one working. It’s just annoying that there isn’t a simple, consumer-friendly option to opt out of using a MS account.
