Another method of bypassing the account lockdown still exists. You simply have to enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup process, which allows you to skip the connection to the Internet and thus also the link to a Microsoft account.

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I accidentally did this with a clean install by not having Wi-Fi drivers installed.
I couldn't get the command prompt up (Shift+F10 I believe) on the last laptop I bought, which I think had Windows 11 SE (don't let the name fool you, it's the worst one). I just installed Windows 10 instead
Is oobe\bypassnro limited to Pro versions?
wait what
