If you want to avoid Microsoft account sign-in in the future, during setup, try disconnecting from the internet before starting the setup, or choose "Set up for personal use" and look for the option "Offline account" or "Limited experience". Sometimes Windows 11 prompts for internet early in setup, but there are workarounds.
