  As far as I call tell, Paul was talking about a fresh install (of
Windows 11), not about an upgrade from Windows 10 to 11, i.e. your
question.

  The 'OOBE' (Out Of Box Experience) aspect obviously does not apply to
an upgrade, because the thing is already Out Of Box for a long, long
time.

  That said, I can not imagine that a Microsoft account is forced during
a 10->11 upgrade. At least it wasn't during the 8.1->10 upgrade of my
wife's system, while (AFAIK) for a 10 fresh install, a Microsoft Account
was also (somewhat) forced.
