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.

    I run in the Problem that the Command dint worked. Simple fix just Type as the first Command cd oobe to navigate in the folder. Then just Type beypassnro for the second Command*.* The PC or VM will Restart and you have the option to say you don't have Internet.

    Kind Regards

    That works too, but I never had the need for "cd oobe" because oobe\bypassnro always worked fine for me after Shift + F10. 🤷‍♂️

    Works just fine using ISO of Canary 25357.1 even in a non-compliant virtual machine. You must be doing something wrong.

    Confirmed, same here. 👍

    Just to add, I purchased a new Lenovo Yoga 7i this past week, I installed that offline as well using same bypassnro.

    Nothing changed, M$ updated something to stop making this command (OOBE\BYPASSNRO) work. RIP.
