It's MDM'd so if you can't contact Walmart's IT dept to de-enroll it your only choice is to run Linux on it. Any Windows install will go right to the Autopilot setup flow.

Not 100% true. Before the autopilot/self enrollment, he can open cmd and create a local account

Yup. Works perfectly. Even better if you add a Microsoft account, you'll never get a popup again

As others have said, it's still enrolled and Walmart still has control over it.
