Install Linux?

Jk, just click you don't want an account when asked (it's a bit greyed out).

Source: installed win10 on a dell optiplex the day before yesterday.

Edit: don't know if it works on w11, but the upgrade to w11 is proposed in the settings from the installed w10.

They removed that option from win 11, you need to run a batch file and disconnect interfaces
