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.

    Hey fg, Sibro,

    Appears with todays Dev build 25197 total offline clean install is working with oobe bypass again.

    Have a great weekend guys.

    Regards,

    Thanks Johnny,

    I'll give it a try as soon as I finish the download.

    Have a good one too, regards.

    CONFIRMED

    Tried also official MS ISO 25197, that works fine too.

    Tried official MS ISO 25201 and oobe\bypassnro still works fine, did an offline clean install without network and local Windows account.
