I wasn't going to answer because I've done one, but, I was nowhere except I thought it would end in able - good little clue

Nice clue!
This was one of those that just seemed to leap out at me. I saw the answer about a minute after I read the clue. Unlike yesterday's which eluded me for some reason. When I looked at the solution I did a BIG face palm. So obvious - in hindsight. Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

I'm getting a new (first!) employee in two weeks.
While this is a joyous occasion, having to install his laptop is not.
First of all, I am required to sign in using a private Microsoft account, so a live or outlook email account.
Nice way to start someone else's business laptop.
So I do this, hoping (but knowing better) I can change this later.
After signing in, a user folder is created with the first five letters of your first name, so in my case "sande".
That's a default no one with a name longer than five letters would ever want, but alright.
I can probably change that too. Right? RIGHT!?
Hell no.
I can switch to a local account, but the user folder is still "sande", my OneDrive is still signed in and the profile picture is still mine.
The OneDrive and user picture are easy enough, although signing out of OneDrive still leaves personal files on the laptop.
Changing the user folder name requires some hacking and some registry editing.
Long story short, I'm currently doing a system restore and it's hanging at 62%

Look closely - there is an option to install without any online account! I just did it a week ago...
Look for 'sign-in options'

MS has said they were going to remove the ability to do that from everything except the enterprise/education versions. If they've followed through...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Your first comment about having to sign into a Microsoft Account is inaccurate. The way to avoid this is to tell the setup program you're joining a domain. Then, while the setup program continues to nag you for a Microsoft account, you create a local user account. This user account is a full Administrator on the machine.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm guessing your comment is inaccurate because it never asked that.
Probably because this computer comes preinstalled with Windows 11 Home edition and I'm only upgrading it to Pro after being logged in.
|
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't upgrade it. If you have the Pro license information reimage the machine straight to Pro. Windows Home has sucked since Vista.
|
|
|
|

truth. This summer I'm wiping my wife's laptop to put pro on it.

I had a similar experience for my personal laptop. I want this laptop to just open and be in Windows without any authentication. It took some work to make that happen. Its like they want it harder to use. And don't get me started about the new start bar. Removing the "Never Combine" and making it only take 10% of usable space for open applications is a mess. (Dangit, I got started)

I have done that since the first install of windows 10.
Luckily I haven't had to check if it works in windows 11 (yet)

Not possible, it seems you simply can't setup Windows without internet.
Maybe if I'd be somewhere in the middle of nowhere and Windows couldn't even find a WiFi... 
I used den2k88's solution, where you have to use some cmd line and after that it restarts and you can skip connecting to internet.
