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.

    This command is no longer available and it would help future users to take the answers here with a grain of salt. What might've worked for you is not garanteed to work with others.

    I'm not sure why you are replying ot me. 🤷‍♂️

    The command is still available on all builds AFAIK and 100% verified to work with build 25309.

    Maybe your MCT is missing files or corrupted, run a system file check to make sure.

    Using System File Checker in Windows

    edit:

    I'm creating an MCT to verify and will post results shortly.

    Result: it works just fine with MCT whatever build is on it.

    Use mediacreator to make a USB.

    Opening a prompt (which I needed to create a RAID0 volume during setup with diskpart) was not able to locate OOBE in Windows/System32. This command is no longer available and it would help future users to take the answers here with a grain of salt. What might've worked for you is not garanteed to work with others.

    But i said thanks.

    He's showing a specific message "OOBE not found". I don't remember seeing that one. 😎

    Me neither.

    This command only failed with one specific Build, but I don' remember which one it was, never had any problem after that for several months now.

    Two builds actually, 25120.1010 and 25193 with autopilot error. 😉

    As you said, it does work with 25309
