    I just installed Windows 11 in a virtual machine for software development purposes.

    • This machine has a valid Windows 11 Pro license, but it didn’t recognize it because it’s running in a VM.
    • It installed a bunch of stuff I didn’t need and had to uninstall, because Microsoft assumed my use case.
    • I had to log into a Microsoft account that I use for nothing else, using my phone’s two-factor authentication.
    • I had to flip a bunch of switches NO to opt (as far as possible) out of Microsoft’s tracking.
    • I had to do the updates overnight.
    • When it was done, I then began the process of clearing all the crap off the computer and out of the taskbar. That’s ongoing.

    Simple!

      Touche on the ms account. During startup, I’ve gotten so used to F10+Shift and typing “oobe\bypassnro” to not require network access not ms account.
