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 can we thank you, if the solution doesn't work because MS decided to remove the option?

    They haven't removed it yet, still works even with non-compliant devices. 😁

    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!

    Will there be any corruption of Windows if we do this?

    Where did you get that idea? 🤷‍♂️
