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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Ok... so, folks... you are making all this way too hard.
back in the day we used command line to navigate ect...
Its real simple. With the Shift/F10 feature (on newer laptops you might have to also use Shift/Fn/F10. (The Fn key).... so anyway... you will or should be at Windows/system32 I believe... now just change directories to Oobe. Now type in "bypassnro" and watch what happens... Its like magic. LOL\
Woe...
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.
Hi Sibro,
I have no idea why people have to change to the oobe directory as system32 is a path variable and anything beneath that folder is accessible as well as any other paths a user sets up.
On newer laptops, depending on your setting in bios, you would have to use Shift/Fn/F10. As I use the Function keys F1-F12 more than the Fn functions on a laptop, I change the bios setting so that I would have to press the Fn key for example, to change screen brightness or volume. This really comes down to personal choice.
Regards,

On all Dell laptops I have (2 to 6 years old) this behaviour can be done on keyboard with Fn+Esc key.
Dell Desktops have the same behavior with Fn + Esc.
Different variations of Keyboards with different brands of PCs. 😎🤷♂️
This example below has dual functions on the top row keys (HotKey and Function key). Which of the 2 functions gets associated with the Fn key is selectable in BIOS, it is just a user preference.
Depending on the setting you may just need Shift + F10 or Shift + Fn + F10. No big deal.
As for oobe\bypassnro typed directly from Windows\System32 I never had any problem with it. 🤷♂️
