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.

    Is this still working on Win 11 Beta Preview 22621?

    Yes, this is working on 22621, 22631, 23516 and 25921. I usually do a clean install with most Insider builds.

    Regards,

    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. 🤷‍♂️
