Once you're past the first time log in page and you've turned off WiFi they can't do anything to track you unless you use the Kobo desktop app to transfer books or buy books off their website. If you just sideload they won't know anything. You can leave WiFi off forever.
As others mentioned using a kobo without an account has led to issues in the past with firmware updates destroying everything. You need to either use the fake registration hack and deal with the consequences or have an account logged in. You can log out to switch accounts or to sell it but to use it, it must be logged in.
Also you may want to consider moving away from Windows 7. Support has ended and its easier for bad actors to exploit exploits as Microsoft is no longer patching them.
