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.

    It's really simple. With the Shift/F10 feature (on newer laptops), you might also have to 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... It's like magic.

    Cool, any clue what to do in order to get wifi up and running after the start up? For whatever reason my pc build keeps pestering me about setting up the ethernet cable, but I don't have anywhere to plug that in. The motherboard came with a wifi antenna and that's all screwed in and everything, I've tried downloading drivers on a usb and that didn't work for some reason, and I have no idea what on earth I'm supposed to do next. Here's my build, just throwing this in the void, maybe one of you can help me figure out what's wrong:

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor

    CPU COOLER: Deepcool AK400 66.47 CFM CPU Cooler

    MOTHERBOARD: Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

    MEMORY: OLOy MD4U083016BJDA 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory (2)

    STORAGE: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (2)

    VIDEO CARD: Gigabyte GV-N105TD5-4GD GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB Video Card

    CASE: Deepcool CC560 ATX Mid Tower Case

    POWER SUPPLY: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

    BRAIN: Exhausted

    Hi Justin Blaze,

    So have you got as far as Windows being installed or are you trying to install Windows using the method in this thread?

    Have you got any settings in the bios for ethernet setting?
