I wish they insist to it but they will take it back when people start looking for other OS
I have the latest Win 10 (21H1) fully installed on 2 laptops and have not had this problem either. At least not yet. I do not even have a Microsoft account.I have a Windows 10 vm and am updated to the most recent version and I didn't get this.
The simplest solution to avoid using a Microsoft account when installing Windows 10 is... do not connect to any network until after the install is complete.I think most do on the first install when I had my win10 VM I had to on set up use an account and then unlink it
I'll let you know. I've ordered my first new desktop since 2009, and it should arrive by the end of the month. It will have Windows 11 Home, and I intend to dual-boot it with Linux.what I was looking into about 11, it refuses to let you complete the most simplest tasks unless you have an account as well
I'm not a Windows fan (by any means!) but I wouldn't write their obituary just yet.Give it a few more years (maybe a decade at best), and Windows will finally be dead.

No one is being used.(I'd call them users, but they're actually being used),
I don't know if Android surpassed Windows.especially when Android surpassed Windows in being the most popular OS in general. Because so many organizations and individuals are using Linux (or just FOSS in general), there's really no legitimate reason to use proprietary software anymore.
I'm with @stan I don't see Microsoft going anywhere but forward.Give it a few more years (maybe a decade at best), and Windows will finally be dead.

Windows users agree to the terms and conditions of the OS.

The majority of people that used to use a Windows computer now use an Android cell phone or an Apple iPhone to do simple tasks.

Microsoft didn't get to be who they are and where they are by giving up.
Most people will choose Windows OS over another OS have been and will continue to do so.
Most people I know haven't even heard of Linux and if they have heard of Linux have no interest in learning Linux.
Everyone I know is familiar with Windows OS and not Linux and are buying new computers with Windows 11 OS not Linux.
People are lazy and won't exert any effort towards learning Linux that's only 1 of the reasons why they aren't using Linux.The biggest reason why most people don't switch to Linux is because they've become psychologically dependent on Windows like a drug addict.
The best thing I can do is leave Windows users be if they're happy using Windows than cool.The best thing you can do is to talk about how Linux doesn't have nearly as many problems as Windows has, but obviously in a nudging kind way, instead of a preachy or condescending kind of way.
I'm not interested in converting any Windows user I know or anyone else using Windows to become a Linux user.

This. Very much this. Not only this, but very much. People are "psychologically dependent" on taking the path of least resistance... the lazy way. This is "the rule" rather than "the exceptions." People don't do a "custom install" of a software package (when available, such as in Windows)... they will usually choose an "express install" so they don't have to read and answer a bunch of questions. This is so true in many aspects of life, but I'll try to just stick to computers and technology.People are lazy and won't exert any effort towards learning Linux that's only 1 of the reasons why they aren't using Linux.
We must be related! LOLI've installed my Linux several times because of trying stuff and Opps hey it happens and I'm willing to wreck my Linux to learn.

So far, it has refused to break.
