the best way to not sign in is just to enter impossible information, like a single letter for login and password. it gives an error and then offers to let you create a local account. just make sure to turn off bitlocker whether or not you use an ms acct.

won't stop the stupid ai bullshit no matter what.

as someone who has grandma level understanding of computers, I wish I could just get a new PC that has XP on it. No version of windows has added anything that I love, XP worked fine for what I wanted a computer to do
