Meh, install Windows 10 with a local account, then immediately "upgrade" to Windows 11, or just use an older install media and update.

Can someone confirm this works? And doesn't start asking for login afterwards?

I did it this last weekend for my parents, neither of the computers prompted me to add a Microsoft account.
