I meant people with "old hardware" that do not meet Windows 11 requirements, should start thinking moving to Linux.

It may depend on when you purchased, but my win11 pro USB I purchased still has the ability to skip the MS account creation with OOBE /bypassnro.

I think they made the timing you had to run this and reboot trickier though because too soon into the setup or too late and it will not work.

You also have to straight up yank the Ethernet cable at some point.
