Switch to Linux if you can. But if you are stuck with Windows for whatever reason, you can install Windows 11 and use a local account, by creating a Windows installation media using Rufus. You can also bypass the requirements for TPM 2.0, and skip privacy questions.
If you already have Windows 11 installed, you can switch from online account to local account:
- Go to the Settings app,
- Proceed to Accounts > Your info,
- And select “Sign in with a local account instead”.
I prefer Ventoy, but both work well
Ventoy is amazing, but sometimes Windows ISOs don’t work, so I use Rufus as a backup, plus you can customise the ISO as this post shows
