If I set up my current Windows without linking it to my Microsoft account, will I still need to link it now, though? That is the question...
Not as long as you're doing an in-place upgrade with an iso (running setup.exe from install media), or through windows update.

We have a how-to G8pRT72tVonf8VTrwsDwAke
wonders how this makes sense... or what it even means

so the 2 ways are:
insiders, which obviously needs a logon to access
and UUPDate...

So basically the 2 ways to get it early last year. Shall I guess there will be another article like this next year saying same things? It writes itself.

Yeah, Windows update is what I mean. Win 11 is in place already, I would just like to know if I would have to link it to my Microsoft account or not.
I don't know how I can be more clear than my previous answer. You don't have to sign in to a microsoft account when doing an in-place upgrade through windows update or downloading the install media and running setup.exe as explained in the article. If you want to sign up for an insider account then you do have to sign in, but I'm not talking about using that method to get 22H2 because it isn't necessary.
