I had to do exactly this for a family friend in his 70s, it was a fucking nightmare. I think ultimately I caved and hotspotted it to my phone just long enough for it to be happy, and disconnected it while it was still loading the sign up page so it fell back to local account creation (at the time I didn't know about a@a or bypassnro)

There's this workaround that works well : https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-windows-11-without-microsoft-account

It's definitely not for lambda users and a real pity that we have to resort to this, but it does the job (for now).
