Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

You're not forced to use either of those, IIRC. Just set it up without connecting to the internet or without signing in.

No, there are no facilities for installing W11 offline or without a MS account anymore. MS removed those.

Can still use the "Shift + F10 and type OOBE/BYPASSNRO" option. A non-online method is still necessary for corporate environments that use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) or other tools to image computers in bulk.

The last time I had to setup a Windows profile (late last year on my then-new laptop), that was the case. Has that changed?
