Just a suggestion for forum admin: I recently installed Win 11 using the forum guidance and Rufus ("How to Install Windows 11 Using Rufus: Bypass Restrictions and Create Local Account"). Except for one minor issue, it worked very well. Under item #5 in the guidance it says: "You can even pre-define a username under Create a local account with username. Enter your desired name". This, of course, is true. However, I think it would be very helpful to add some additional information. Based on my experience, when following that step, you can indeed enter a Local User Name, However, there is no opportunity to also enter a password. I found later that this could be a confusing and necessary function. When the installation is completed, one is left working in Windows 11 under the chosen user name. Then when you try to re-boot, you are instructed to change the password before re-boot is allowed. What is the existing password? You did not enter one nor were you advise that you needed one on re-boot. Just adding a "new" password and verification does not work as you first need to put in the "original" one. In order for this to all work properly, the user must (as nearly as I can tell) change (or add) a password for the local user account prior to exiting and re-booting the system. I can't figure how to log back in otherwise.
I think it would be very helpful if item #5 in your guidance was supplemented with further instructions regarding this.
Or. Did I miss something along the way?
P.S. I note that item #7 suggests that a new password can be entered "for further security". This is good, but emphasis should be placed on the fact that a new password will be required in order to re-boot and log back in.
