I installed it last week with no problems. I unplugged the ethernet
and told it I have no Internet. I was updating from 10, so I'm not
completely certain about a fresh install. But in my case it didn't
require an MS account.
It may be that a Rufus-written ISO also bypasses it. It does provide
several options.
It's possible that the Dell rstore is cooperating with MS, in which
case maybe you could just overwrite that?
