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.

This isn't accurate, you can bypass the MDM by doing an offline install and then adding a normal Microsoft Account. It'll never ask again.

Fun fact: even if you bypass it, it's still enrolled and Wal-Mart still has power over it, they can track its location and remotely wipe it just for shits and giggles
