Brand new, out of the box. It’s been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.

    The best part is still too come, clicking through the 10 or so questions, where the preselected option is the always the bad one regarding privacy, and the “good” one is a compromise at best.

          Nope just updated the other day and it requires you answer those questions all the time. They even require a MS account now

            That can be circumvented, luckily. When setting up the computer, hit shift+F10 and type in: OOBE\BYPASSNRO That will restart the computer, and it is now possible to create a local account. Why they would make it so difficult is hard to fathom, besides datamining it’s userbase and profit… oh wait, I got it now.

                Usually doesn’t work on newer builds. Even with no nic driver installed it wants to connect.

                  Wants to, but can’t. I set up two installations in the last few weeks, and set up local accounts using this.

                  Ironically, I had to wipe and reinstall one because I accidentally set up Pro instead of Home >.<

            Honestly I don’t even feel the need to Google to confirm, that seems hilariously par for the course.

      It’s horrifying what data harvesting engines most OSs have become. I remember being so outraged when I learned that Ubuntu’s default MOTD phones home with a couple of pieces of hardware info that I switched distros (the ever growing use of snaps was also a factor). Windows seems like it needs a complete medical history just to “offer” a sign in prompt.

        When the MOTD became just advertisements was enough for me. I get that it’s all within the ecosystem, but my terminal is not a space for you to advertise…
