I set up Windows 11 for my uncle last night. I haven't used Windows in about 8 years, but I figured it be pretty simple these days.>set up demands I give it my email; I don't know his email>can't shift+F10 to go to terminal and bypass this anymore>just give it a fake email figuring I'll disable it later>want to update windows during the installation? >sure, spend 30 minutes updating during install>get to desktop>more updates available, spend another 15 minutes updating>try to edit a registry to migrate his old software>C:\Windows\regedit.exe isn't signed by Microsoft, you can only use software made by Microsoft on this computer>what>I have to go to the "Microsoft app store" to enable regedit.exe that came with the computer>In order to open the app store, I have to verify the fake email I signed up with>Try to change the fake email to a real one, can't change the email without verifying the fake email first>Go through laundry list of hidden settings to disable the fake email and use a "local account">Go back to Windows store to enable regedit.exe, still need to sign in>Just make the guy a new fucking email @outlook.com>In order to sign up for outlook.com, I need to supply a second email and verify it (SRSLY)>Can't sign up for gmail or yahoo without giving them my phone number>Make my boomer uncle a fucking cock.li so I can get an email verifying the email for his new email>Go back to Windows store>Disable the setting that stops me from using my computer
>>109596510>but I figured it be pretty simpleIt is, you create the install medium using rufus and check/uncheck a few boxes. Could have just looked that up.
>>109596579what? did you read the post at all? I didn't need to create a bootable drive, I set up a laptop with Windows 11 already installed
>>109596593You didn't specify that, but for setting up laptops, you nuke pre installed windows and use the install medium you created in such a way. It also effectively gets rid of McNortonAffee and other pre installed bloatware.
>>109596510Maybe your uncle just wanted to spend a bit of family time and catch up with you, did you ever think about that?
>miku someone behead this nigger with a machete
>>109596593>I set up a laptop with Windows 11 already installedlol retardnuke the drive and install something that you actually know what it is.
>>109596743No, he told me to order a laptop for him and migrate pictures and his flight simulator from his Pentium III desktop at my own convenience. I already spent the family time with him when I went to pick up the computer and drank some beers with him.>>109596751what's wrong with miku
It is fascinating how even in this thread, Windows users excuse this behavior, and in fact, blame you for not already knowing the workarounds. True natural gameshow enthusiast eunuch slaves
>>109596841I was thinking the same.Just jump through all these hoops first you retard!
>>109596510I had to reinstall windows and it reinstalled itself without a hostname. This meant DNS did not work, without any obvious reason why.
