Wow, this is a method I should have seen but didn't. Nice work, Brian! Also, it's funny how before all this Microsoft account enforcing became a thing, I was genuinely convinced I was one of the few people that still used local accounts.

The next step MS is probably gonna take is to block the hole command screen end shift+f10 to force you to go trough the setup forcing a MS account and advertising turned on without any option to bypass anything. And also there is a possibility that the are gonna block a Windows install from even starting the setup if the iso has been modified by Rufus or any other tool. I'm not saying that it will happen, this might happen based on the way MS is blocking a lot of bypasses.

I still have to use a Microsoft account because of Microsoft 365. But the username still truncates it to the first 5 digits and strangely, uses my email in winver. This is a good strategy though, despite the fact that the defaultuser0 account could be what I call a limited account, or an account in which I don’t want my documents to be saved with my name. I also have a 2015 MacBook Air. It is a local, UNIX-based account. Nowadays the Apple chip nonsense and the soldered SSDs might mean that I might need to purchase a Windows laptop without soldered SSDs (soldered RAM is fine though). However the 2015 MacBook Air is here to stay for at least 10 years.
