My Windows 11 install recently was already such a pain in the ass. I had to open a command prompt and enter in some commands just to be able to install Win11 without a fucking M$ account. Seriously not even disconnecting LAN gives you the option. It was a new install and it worked using the "key" or activation from my previous Win10 install that I used a 10€ win7 key for. I do not think I have the key in my bios because its self build rig that I bought without windows.
I still need windows for playing AAA games unfortunately. I am going back to cracking windows if they not allow to activate it with some cheap win7 key. They already spy on me, try to force me to use a fucking online account for a OS, that is insanity why should I feel the need to give them money?

a "moral" thought about cracking my windows, it just what my friends and I always did. We saved the money for a better rig instead. But when I learned about the win7 key method for win10 so I bought myself one on ebay once.
But now that M$ has evolved into a digital bully I even feel good about it. They are not even offering a "get out of jail" option that cuts all the ads and spying for a extortion fee right? They want both my money and my data. They are not getting it! Well at least I hope so I used https://github.com/builtbybel/BloatyNosy to try to disable all the spying after installing with a local only account.
Valve is unfortunately still not all the way there with Proton. But I think there will be a day in my life where I will remove my Windows partition with great pleasure and only use Linux.
