I don't understand this. I've had two win 11 installations over about 2 years and I've never had a Microsoft account or had to log in to one. Am I doing something wrong?
You missed the change where you need an account.
Couldn't you also make a throwaway ms account?
I could, but them I'm up a creek later if I need to use any recovery functionality, as it all ties back to that MS cloud account.
It's certainly possible to get working, disable all of the cloud saves and telemetry, and then just save the MS account in a password vault for later.
But all of that is much more work than clicking "next" a few times in the Linux Mint installer. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
