Yes'ish. You can just download a Windows 10 ISO from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO and use it just fine. Eventually, you will be prompted to 'Activate' with a key, but you can run it for free practically forever. You can get an activation key on Amazon, NewEgg, Ebay, or wherever else you trust if you don't trust that.
Earlier versions of Win10 allowed install without a Microsoft account, but it got more difficult in later versions. I haven't tried much with Win11 installs to know for sure there.
