Set up Windows 11 without internet - oobe\bypassnro

Ok, now on Insider builds you can't get it past anymore by killing OOBE Connection Flow. This is just nonsense.

How are we supposed to set up PCs that don't have any Wi-Fi/Ethernet drivers in the first place?

When killing Connection Flow you just get this message:

Here is the solution:

Open cmd with Shift + F10 and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO.

Your computer will restart and now you will have the "I don't have Internet" option.

No need to thank me.

    How are you ment to do this as a system refresh, after boot you have no access to anything in windows none of the above works. i am working on a computer from work and dont want it on my internet connection.

    Create installation media or use the ISO, initiate installation as usual, when you get to the first setup screen follow the instructions on the first post.

    It's a mystery to me why some people need to change directories, it has always worked for me without doing it, and regarding "Shift/Fn/F10", I think you're wrong.

    This did not help me. Shift+f10 did not work. Is there anything else I could try

    Which Build are you trying with?

    Shift + F10 gets to command prompt then type oobe\bypassnro and the system will reboot and let you install without network connection.

    See the original post on first page. 😎

    I just tried with Build 22623.891 and also with Dev Build 25262.1000 and it worked fine on both.

    It worked for me on 25120.1000 using Official ISO, I could not make an ISO for 25120.1010 any way I tried from dump and wimlib. Always came out 25120.1000 even with v80.

    Yes, it worked for me too on 25120.1000 but not on .1010

    Try again, I made one from the same source about 2 hours ago.

    I can not stress how much I despise this insidious creeeping around bhy MS to HARVEST and use against users theit own data. I am advising all of my clients to move over to linux, it may be slow but every journey starts with a single step.... I **** HATE THIS SIGN IN ****!!! if you absolutely must use it, then create a dummy account, use it to sign in and then once in create a new local admin account. Sign in to that account and delete the first account. NEVER GIVE THE **** ANYTHING!!!!!!!! Incidentally hoping that the silly people responsible for thishave been dismissed already and NEVER WORK AGAIN .

    Please lets just all move over to linux!! yes I'm switching to that OS after this post!
