Brand new PC's from the factory are sysprepped, so they start in OOBE. They already have whatever "extras" (or bloatware) pre-installed, but the first-time user experience is a fresh OOBE.

Yes, apart from intergrading the drivers and apps in the ISO, the OEM can also enter Audit Mode (bypass OOBE and connect with the built-in Administrator account) pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F3 and install anything they want. At next restart Windows show OOBE again, but any drivers and apps are already installed.

Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account
You only need an Ethernet connection, not Wi-Fi, or disable Wi-Fi in your modem/router settings if possible to avoid using the Microsoft account. This is what I understand without experimenting. I don't think Microsoft will ever remove the option to create a local account when there's no...

Sigh. That generator is getting encrusted with too many bells & whistles. It's beginning to look like winutil now.
It would be nice to have a "just the basics" and "expert mode" page views.

You can adapt to anything obviously. However, having to "adapt" and spend significant time "understanding" this begs the question, why do I have to "study" it just to use it. Of course, I also don't want to pay Microsoft for a capability I can get for free other ways, so there's always that...

I'm not a Rufus user myself; I like to do things myself and bonus if I can torture myself with it not working at first. But Rufus couldn't be simpler... ISO, check box or two, click button. I mean, I'm a custom ISO and unattend guy, but Rufus is a nice piece of kit, I think they say over there.

Instead of exhausting developers by plugging holes that help bypass Microsoft's account,, it would be better to work on solving this problem in Microsoft's account, which has been known for months and poses a danger to those who use BitLocker and have recovery key there.

I'm not one of those naive or ignorant users., but after clean installation, I spent a long time trying to recover the folder of documents, photos, and videos that OneDrive automatically linked to the cloud without me realizing what had happened, even though it's a free plan.
That was really difficult
