Is This the Correct Way to Set Up a 'Local Account Only' for Windows 11 25H2 During OOBE Routine?

I will be helping a neighbour to set up a new Dell laptop. I would expect that once the laptop is first switched on I will be hit with Microsoft's OOBE. If I can I want to try and avoid having the women subjected to the privacy busting routine of using a Microsoft Account. To that end I looked for instructions to avoid this on a 25H2 installation: How to Install and Log In to Windows 11 Without a Microsoft Account. Can someone please have a look at that and tell me if those instructions will work for 25H2?

I should add that I have looked at Brink's tutorial Clean Install Windows 11 but I find it impossible to follow the spaghetti-junction of steps (not saying that the tutorial is 'bad' just that I'm getting old now and not thinking as clearly as my younger years).

I would also add that on my own desktop and laptop I did manage to avoid the Microsoft Account and OOBE rubbish by downloading an ISO and using Rufus as a clean install workaround. All that went fine for me, but that was on my own machines. I don't want to risk doing that on a new machine that isn't mine and particularly as this is a Dell laptop and I have no previous experience of using them and how to get all required drivers for the machine.
