    Just to add another anecdatum, I had the exact same experience installing Windows 11 this year. I have never had this much trouble installing an OS in the 20 years I’ve been screwing with computers.

      Damn, which part did you get stuck?

      The clicking “next” part?

      The unplugging of internet to get a local account?

      Or the running of a debloating script?

        Yeah it’s not always that simple. You haven’t been around long enough to see the stuff that can go wrong with installing Windows. For example I recently had Windows refuse to see both SSDs in a machine. All because of something called Intel VMD. Took me a handful of attempts before I found the problem.

        When Windows installs work they are fairly simple if long, but when they don’t work oh boy.

        The unplugging of internet to get a local account?

        Also they disabled that for Windows Home.

        Some Lemmy users are actually just wankers. I would like it if you all stopped. It’s especially great when I have people like you who probably aren’t even experienced in tech.
