Can someone enlighten me as to what is M$ doing this time?

I had to install windows the other day on my kids laptop, and had to skip like 10 screens of Microsoft ads and then disable OneDrive, but saw nothing about Dropbox.

Edit: my household has been using Mint for a few years now, the m$ enshitification was just too much for us. I only had to install windows on my kids school laptop because they won't accept anything else...

    OOBE\bypassnro no longer works on shipped computers. You have to have a old installer of 11 to use it. There are other ways. Mines a bit more hands on but I end up with a machine with a single local account. Those that tell you install linux and its fixed don't really live in the real world. As much as I would like to never have to touch windows its not going anywhere soon.

    you can also break out of the installer like in windows 10, and the entire os is loaded in the background so it's possible to open edge and download another os to a usb drive within the installer. very handy.

    In this particular case, it's not windows since they started pushing one drive.

    It's probably the PC manufacturer being paid by Dropbox to install it with system utilities.
