Microsoft caught some shade on X (formerly Twitter) this week after the social media platform's owner and CEO, Elon Musk, ran into issues when attempting to set up his new Windows laptop. Particularly when it came to Microsoft's strong-arm tactics in pressuring people to sign up for a Microsoft Account during the setup process.
While Musk might be a billionaire, it seems he's still susceptible to the pitfalls of the average Joe when it comes to setting up your new Windows laptop. Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 have made it very difficult for users to finalize the installation process without signing up for a Microsoft account, something many users have taken umbrage with for years now.
