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 actually don't know

    Looks like you are missing the basics. 😎

    The procedure described on page 1, works perfectly if you are not connected to the network via Ethernet. I just tried it with the installation media 22621.1702 downloaded today from Microsoft.

    In the case you are connected it will just proceed to a normal online installation and you will never have the chance to enter Shift + F10 and the command oobe\bypassnro and reboot, in that situation you will never see the message "I don't have internet" option.

    It will just ask you to sign in.

    If you get to that point, there is still a way to avoid the MS account sign in and create a Local Windows account instead.

    That is a different hack procedure described in a different thread. 😎😂😉

    Good luck! 😉🤷‍♂️

    That's the problem.The"I don't have internet option"doesn't show up. Could it be because I'm trying to skip am organization verification (Sorry for not mentioning this earlier).

    That should not matter, if you are not connected. I assume you are not connected to an ethernet.

    How are you trying to install.

    Where did you get the installation media? What is the Build that you are trying to install?

    Current public installation ISO downloaded from Microsoft is Build 22621.1702 for Windows 11 22H2.
