I upgraded to win11 about 6 months ago, and honestly think it's the best platform since xp!
I did place some things back where they belong, like the taskbar (seems weird in the middle), but when I use my laptop which is still on win 10 it feels 'old' and I miss some of the win11 features.
The thing that took me most time to adjust to is that everything went back to the system tray instead of the side bar that popped up when you moved the curser to the right side of the screen, besides that, I'm very happy with it

Work would most likely be Enterprise .
ETA : There is a way to use without linking a Microsoft account .
Windows 11 image and Rufus .(advanced users only.)
But why , I would ask ?
What is the point ?
What is the concern ?
How many times do folks give out their email address ?
Cause that's all it is .
And not intrusive at all .
I have yet to receive an email from Microsoft either than being in the Insider program .

Is there any way to install Win 11 without registering with Microsoft ?
Cheers
It's not just that people do not want to give their email (specially if it's already a Microsoft email), but (at least to me) the differences between a local account and a Microsoft account.

Then why not just set up a separate user account , under the same Windows , and assign it Admin privileges ?
No fuss , no muss. and eazy peazy.
And the normal account IS NOT a Microsoft account. It is an account WITH Microsoft .
If you read the ToS of MS Windows , you will see that you LEASE Windows for 99 years which is subject to "breaking the lease" .
And that has been since Day 1 .

I have no issue with registering a product, and am happy to purchase it.
I just don't like the forced MS account approach.

Thanks. I infer from your comment that there is no viable work-around other than another email account.
