Uh-oh.

I've found the best way to get over having a MS account on installing Windows 11 is:

When you get to the part on installation where it wants a internet connection use the Shift + F10 keyboard shortcut to open Command Prompt.
Type the following command to release the current network configuration and press enter: oobe\bypassnro   The command is a single phrase without spaces.

Its a script to add a reg change and the computer will reboot - start the procedure again low and behold - a I have no internet option.

I took an easier route -- I moved away from the Windows OS entirely some years ago

Oh wow! What did you replace it with?

I went all-in on the Macintosh OS X operating system.

Bye-bye WordPad.


The Verge, 3 September 2023: "Microsoft is removing WordPad from Windows after nearly 30 years"
WordPad first shipped as part of Windows 95, but it’s being removed in a future release of Windows.
