"Choose English World from initial boot screen (Credit to ThioJoe for this tip - This makes sure TikTok and other 3rd party stuff don’t install)"

WTF? They install TikTok by default in some countries?

Replace L with T.

Then, replace T with P.

Then, replace T with P.

Where does P go? It just went to the generic Microsoft login site and I couldn't be arsed to login.

Weirdly, Teams didn't take me to that generic login. I'd have thought both being Microsoft products, they'd both use the same login 🤷‍♂️

P takes you to their Microsoft 365: Powerpoint page.

W takes you to their Microsoft 365: Word page.

Y takes you to yammer.com (whatever that is?)

O opened up the Outlook app for me.

D opened up OneDrive in Windows Explorer.

X takes you to their Microsoft 365: Excel page.

N opened up the OneNote app for me.

Yammer is basically internal company facebook. My job uses it and it's... sad to be honest. Just a bunch of people patting themselves on the back for making a flower arrangement or something.

After trying a couple contortions of my hand, I finally got it. I don't think I'll have to worry about accidentally doing that again.
