Elon Musk himself complained on Twitter a month ago about buying a laptop with Windows and it not letting him finish the installation.
Many people complain that Windows forces all users to enter an email once they install the Microsoft operating system. Without an email, Windows 11 does not let you finish the OS installation. Or so we mortals thought.
These days we have been finding out that there are ways to bypass this restrictive measure. The funny thing is that the way to get around the limitation seems more like a trolling than a hack. Let’s take a look at it and have a laugh in this busy morning where work piles up.
One of the recommended methods to avoid logging in with a Microsoft account during Windows 11 OOBE is to try logging in with a blocked account. And the most commonly used account to bypass this step is none other than no@thankyou.com, this email allowed installing Windows using a local account.
Unfortunately for all those who have just found out about this hack, Microsoft has blocked this email due to a potential security issue. Several discussions on this topic have raised security concerns about the use of a blocked account.
A problem that has affected Elon Musk himself
A month ago, Elon Musk himself complained on Twitter about buying a Windows laptop and not being able to complete the operating system installation without entering a valid email address.
Sorry Elon, the email no@thankyou.com is no longer available, you have to think of something else or go along with Microsoft. On second thought, the European Union may be able to do something against this monopolistic practice.
