Don't connect to the internet.

Open a cmd window with F10 (maybe it's shift-F10?) and type the following:

OOBE\\BYPASSNRO

You can thank me later.

Why... Why does anyone have to do this bullshit? Leave windows l, everyone for the love of everything good, leave windows!

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what's the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

Near 100% since Wine isn't a hardware emulator. But it depends on how well the software is supported, and CAD has historically been a sore point (but it may be better these days).
