Holy shit. Just not "no" when it asks if you want to set up backup, and keep using what you already use.
It's less difficult than falling over.

You can just say no to the tool and keep using whatever local backup you have.
I got a pop-up that said:
"Hey we have backup to OneDrive now! Do you want to turn it on?".
[Yes/no/don't ask again]
The whole family is a stain in all the ways except the one that would make me happy.
Hibernate FTW

I had computers from a young age.
ASM coding on a Microbee running CP/M OS was where I started somewhere around 1986.
But I grew up as they did and have a deep understanding of how they work.
I'm a Senior SysAdmin/Systems Architect these days.
I still have a @hotmail.com email address that is just my name. No numbers or anything.
To address the whooshing sound...
Smells like Teen Spirit:
"I feel stupid, and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us"
AFAICT Gen X should really just be split into Boomers and early millennials.
I'm a late gen X (1978) and do not associate with boomers at all.
We're basically millennials before the internet.
Used to live by Sennheiser headphones
Then I discovered ANC headphones. Then my phone lost its headphone jack.
Until Sennheiser have an ANC BT headphone option to rival Bose or Sony, they have lost that market segment.
It's all about the phrasing.
Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.
"Butt dial." Vs. "Booty call"
And
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Vs. "Sorry Daddy, I've been a bad girl."
Too many features that I use daily as a Sysadmin are missing to consider w11 as anything more than a PITA currently.
At home my PC hardware is fully capable but my HDD will need a reformat, so I either rebuild my system from scratch (not gonna happen any time soon) or fork out for yet another HDD and transfer tools.
So it's an imposed cost for little benefit and a whole mountain of inconvenience.
I literally disabled my TPM chip to prevent w11 force installing itself. Management forked out for a new fleet of w11 machines and staff are straight up refusing to move off older slower PC's to avoid w11.
W11 needs a solid 12 months of re-adding existing features to be worth looking sideways at.
