@Moon you can do the set up. Then do secondary login account as offline only with administrator permission then delete the online one

@Moon @SNEK the first time setup has a key combo to bring up a terminal window and then you can enter a command to reset the process, it's how I recovered from mindlessly trusting the wizard and handing it the keys to the tower on my gpd win mini (need a windows install for their firmware updates)

@birdulon @SNEK I completely factory reset it and it still knew about my wifi :-(

@Moon @SNEK but yeah even if you turn off your router after giving win11 the details, it won't go back into offline mode, it will just tell you you need to be online to continue setup.
It's totally ridiculous and evil.

@birdulon @SNEK I seriously hope whoever the fuck is running Microsoft now steps right on an AIDS needle.

@Tsuki @SNEK I don't think it's Pro version, that's needed to join a domain. I'm not worried about it, I got what I needed to do working in a virtualized Windows XP finally.

Is there a domain join option? If you can get to that you can make an offline account through that.
