I found a way to get around the Microsoft Account requirement for Windows 11....
at least it worked for my new Lenovo Laptops
After you connect to the internet (where windows 11 looks for updates)....I connect to the internet
BUT - at the next step - i turned on airplane mode.....it then skipped the Microsoft account requirement
does this for for normal windows 11 installs or just Lenovo New laptop images ? - I don't know yet...
