So tired of keeping like 10 different ethernet dongles, 5 of one model and 5 of another, because half of the new laptops can’t even connect to the internet with the windows install ISO due to lack of drivers.

Welcome back to the Win95/98/SE/XP era. Where everything old is new again.

A clean install will need a USB installer anyhow. So build it with RUFUS and enjoy the lack of a manual bypass.

RUFUS will build you a Windows installer that automatically bypasses the Microsoft Account requirement.

It also lets you bypass TPM 2.0 and lets you remove a lot of bloatware so it doesn’t even get installed in the first place.

The lower half of this meme is getting old to the point of being a bad joke. No-one does this except normies and people who buy pre-built systems that come with Windows already installed.
