I'm in the process of rebuilding my computer with a new MSI B550M motherboard and have some unused Windows 10 keys along with a Windows 11 key. I've heard there are ways to install Windows 11 without having a Microsoft account, especially using hacks that might change frequently as Microsoft tries to block them. My question is, if I install Windows 10 without a Microsoft account and then upgrade to Windows 11, will I have to create a Microsoft account for the upgrade? And are there any hacks I can use to avoid registering an MS account during this upgrade?

If you're upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, you might still have to deal with the Microsoft account requirement, but it can differ based on how you've set up Windows 10. It's best to look for the latest methods or community tips since these hacks can change with updates.
As far as I know, Windows 10 and 11 keys are interchangeable, so you can easily use a Windows 10 key to activate Windows 11 without any issues.
Rufus is a great tool for creating bootable USB drives, and it can help you bypass the Microsoft account requirement when installing. Just be sure to check for guides specifically on installing Windows 11 using Rufus, as they can walk you through the steps.
