    This takes a few minutes to test, so I did.

    TLDR: You can do it in Win11 Pro at least, but the interface tries really hard to steer you into a Microsoft account.

    Used the Windows image tool at https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

    This created me a 23H2 ISO

    Created a VM in VMWare Workstation and started setup

    When asked for the key, I chose “I don’t have a product key”

    When asked for version, I chose “Windows 11 Pro”

    After the restart, during OOBE, it asks me how I would like to setup, I chose “work or school”

    When asked to sign-in to Microsoft, I chose “Sign-in options”

    I then chose to “Domain join instead”

    I’m then asked to create a new standard user

      Just use Rufus to make the USB… I mean, it’s fairly simple to use it, and it asks you IF you give it a Windows ISO if you’d like to skip these things. There are other tweaks as well, like no BitLocker by default.
