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 tried a download again an hour ago for 25120.1010 but keeps getting errors on download.

    I know, you told us already on my thread.

    With all due respect, please stop posting about this topic on multiple threads. You have your own thread, then you posted on mine and now you are repeating yourself here. 😒

    A little touchy, are you? 🤐

    I still cannot understand how you get 25120.1010, it kept failing for me and for Johnny too.

    Yes, I'm sorry. I get easily annoyed by repetitions. 😁

    It worked for me on 25120.1000 using Official ISO,

    I just tried again on a clean install VM with a new ISO .1010 from the dump, this hack failed once again. 🤷‍♂️

    Create installation media or use the ISO, initiate installation as usual, when you get to the first setup screen follow the instructions on the first post.

    "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."
