I believe it’s the driver they install that becomes the problem if they don’t have a valid Microsoft account; it’s no longer valid and untrusted by the system.

Yes. Since they have kernel level drivers, they need those drivers signed by MS for them to be able to install.
There used to be a way around this as an end user, but I think now, the only way is to disable ALL driver signature checking. A decidedly unwise choice.
There used to be the ability to make an exception for a single driver. Certainly an argument can be made that if you’re making an exception for one, it doesn’t matter you might as well turn it off entirely because that one driver could be compromised through modification by any binary on the system.
Anyway, switch to Linux.
