- Microsoft Account Bypass Now Being Blocked During Setup
if you are installing Windows 11 and are unable to connect to the Internet and used to use the windows OOBE experience to use a Local Account instead of a Microsoft Account, it won't work now, because Microsoft now blocking Limited Accounts bypass.

Because Windows is not the product, we are the product.
agreed
This is my educated guess too - they want normal people only on this system not linux lovers.
Maybe you are and maybe many others are but I damn sure am not. I have not been since guaranteed July 27th 2020 when I left when turd to rot in the password belongs in favor of Linux Mint cinnamon
VERY TRUE!!!
@@adamhassam They don't let me sign into my email account using the Google broswer which forces me to keep Edge. I have Gmail, but my main email is with Outlook, and I use that to pay my Monthly bills with and I receive my medical notifications. So switching over everything to Gmail will be a lot of work.
how i miss windows 7 when a system was a system...
Garuda Cinnamon is equivalent to Windows XP but has a more modern appearance and does everything that Windows can't do with Linux you can customize your habitat Windows can't do jack shit they even got Windows 7 themes on Linux MInt I recommend running an ethernet cable to your computer though to get the best out of Linux and not an adapter.
WIN 3.11 was my first and Win 7 was my last Windows, I now use Linux. Every time I view a video like this I know why this was the right decision. LMDE 6 it is for me.
@@TechnoMinded-qp5in No current Linux is equivalent to even Windows XP, unfortunately. Simple example: Try to drag-n-drop a file from your maximized file manager into a terminal window, which is sitting "over" the file manager. The terminal window will move into the background the moment you start your drag-n-drop. Linux desktops bring windows to front on mouse-down already, not on mouse-up, which is a pain in the rear. There also is no sound when using xRDP on most distros, if RDP is available at all. All the Linux file managers are bad and stuck somewhere in the 90s, if you ever thought using Explorer was a pain, try Thunar or Nemo or Dolphin. More professional tools from the past like Krusader unfortunately lag behind as well (no preview pane e.g.).
Shall I continue? o)
The bash and that horrible shell scripting experience it offers is 40+years old and ridiculous to use. Also none of the 3 disk management tools (gparted, gnome disks, and (kde) partition manager) are feature complete yet. Mounting a VHD(x) from any of them? You just can't, even though the VHD(x) format is around for 20 years. Showing network block devices in gparted? Nope, even though nbd is around for many years as well.
Let's face it, Linux has a lot to do.. if all you need is a browser, you probably don't see much difference to XP or modern Windows, but oh boy, there is. If you look into your home folder in Linux and all the hard coded paths in those dot-files for no reason, you quickly realize that a transition from one user account to another while keeping your settings is basically impossible for a regular Linux user.
I could go on for some time..
- *.desktop files vs. *.shortcuts e.g. (desktop files don't work anywhere and can't use relative paths).
- no UNC paths supported in bash or anywhere (you always need pre-existing mountpoints to access network paths).
- ..
Linux is a nice idea, I still like it somehow! o)
If the advantages of it, like being ad-free, rather uncommercial and more privacy focussed weren't there, there would be no point using it, because most things are more complicated and not that sophisticated as on Windows (there is not even a standardized GUI for managing daemons/services/users/cron-jobs etc.), so please no more mention of "equivalent to Windows XP" before 2035 maybe.. o)
Thank you and have a nice day! o)
I miss windows xp sp2 where everything just worked.
@@TechnoMinded-qp5in ethernet is ethernet, what the hell are you on about?
Theres actually an even easier way. Press CTRL+Shift+F3 during the oobe, then your system will reboot and boot to a desktop. DO NOT RESTART UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED THE NEXT STEP OR YOU WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOWS!!! Go into the settings app, and create a new local user in the settings. Finally, reboot your PC. Not only would you have skipped the Microsoft Account setup, but you have also skipped the ENTIRE OOBE except from the Privacy and Data sharing setup.
nice
Need to try this.
Just be cautious. Sysprep (the mode described here) can cook a Windows installation if used incorrectly. So do not touch anything on the window that opens (especially the generalize option, which is intended for OS image generation).
There is even easier way.
Just disconnect PC from internet... It will prompt to create local account instead as there will be no connection to internet (duh).
you can use rufus or some other tool and it will make modifications to you windows usb stick which can remove limitations for online account and also wont bother with you with privacy questions. also it can premake you account you name.
What pisses me off about this is there are legitimate reasons that prevent signing into a Microsoft account. Such as a computer in an offgrid location, on a ship, or a computer that can't be connected to the internet for security reasons.
Isn't that the whole reason that "Setup for work or school" thing still works?
@@umi3017 I believe that requires the pro version, not home.
It was the "Pro" version he was using.
@@shaunhw I know. Most people don't want to pay extra for pro just to bypass email login.
@@Slackware1995 It's easier to get pro keys as businesses buy the pro version as bulk licenses and sell the surplus keys.
When I had Windows 11, I set it up with a Microsoft account and then created a local account with admin privileges for daily use. I did it for a short time but felt really uncomfortable on how they kept changing things like this through their mandatory updates. I ended up making it a Linux machine. Instead of working against their customers, and forcing things on them that they may not want or need, Microsoft should ask themselves why people are hacking their own computers just to get them to work the way they should. They've taken away options that many users took for granted over the years and it's not right. I won't use Windows 11 again, or future Windows products if these trends continue. I just set up a Windows 10 PC for some offline work without a Microsoft account and it nagged me throughout the entire setup process and tried to trick me the whole way and scare with me "security" fear mongering. Seriously, how is connecting all my activities and personal data to the cloud and leaving it in the hands of strangers more secure than being password protected inside my home???
Was a MS user since 1999, and the state its in now with their dictatorship on "whats best for the user crap", i switched to Linux last year, don't get me wrong its a learning curve, but now i feel back in control, wish i did it sooner, the forced update crap was the last straw, its My Computer i decide. don't get me wrong i grow up on MS, however i hate the modern crap its become nowadays such a shame..
Using NTLite to create a custom Windows 11 iso worked like a charm

your comment was so good, youtube literally wanted me to rate it! i myself rated it as excellent, adding that it was relevant and informative.
@MichaelDustterI've been rocking EndeavourOS for a few years now and it's been amazing!
Absolutely. I set up a new PC, which came with Windows 11, and I installed Windows 10 instead. My old pc has TPM2.0 enabled, but the processor was AMD Radeon and not supported for Windows 11. I refuse to upgrade to Windows 11. When Windows 10 end of support is confirmed in 2025, my next system might be Linux

Just curious if you think Google isn't collecting and currently monitoring your data from your comments including this one from your Google account? Big picture... cheers

@@WizDumbDumb It's not the same, the data that Google collects when you use its websites or services it's not the same as the data that Microsoft collects from your WHOLE operating system and everything you do in it.

Nah, they have a responsibility as a monopoly to not go out their way to be tyrants.
@@AJ-po6upIt is the same. Google and Apple are hoovering up all your data when you use IOS or Android, not just Windows.
Apple is more particular in the data they collect compared to Google, but they are still hoovering your data.
I'm not say it's right, but all of Big Tech are hoovering your data.
Several years ago I read in Software Development Times magazine that Microsoft is ultimately wanting people to only have enough of an OS that will boot their computer to the Internet and then the person will have to log into a virtual machine on a Microsoft server. Basically, your computer will be just like the old "dumb terminals" for mainframes -- you will do everything on Microsoft's servers and it will be by subscription as they -- like many other companies are already doing -- are wanting to follow the SaaS (Software as a Service) business model. I suspect that one will be required to pay a recurring fee for a "license" to use one's own computer...kind of like the British have to pay for a "license" just to turn on their television sets (with gov't vans roaming around to detect who has their TV turned on and whether they have a current "license" or not).
"We willingly buy the screens that are used against us."
If they did that i'd jump to linux Mint in a heart beat. although would have to figure out accessiblity first lol
Software as a service is Software as a disservice. I use Office 2013 because it will run until I don't want it to run any more, never having to pay any more. I won't even run the "free" Office 365 provided by my employer. I don't have to deal with unwanted changes to the interface, or any other changes I neither need nor want.
@@user-ym7qn3uo2m LibreOffice, just saying
@@user-ym7qn3uo2m I'm using MS Office 2019 Pro Plus, 64-bit. I know what you mean -- I had been using Adobe Photoshop v. 10 from 1999, until Windows 10 had a big feature upgrade and I could no longer run it. When I learned that Adobe went to "by subscription only" (aka SaaS), I started looking for an alternative, ending up going with Corel Paintshop Pro and Corel Painter for doing my digitally painted character portraits and scenes. I've seen that Corel is now starting to offer a "subscription", touting it as supposedly being "the best deal" for whatever reason. I just keep using what I have since it's a lifetime license. I already have Win 11 blocked on my computer so it can't be forcefully installed.
a conspiracy theorist, beaudy.
I can explain why they've done it. And it goes hand in hand with some other odd things they do; odd, until you add them all together. For instance, they let you buy Windows keys from third-party resellers for cheap. They allow you to upgrade for free using your old key. And of course, you used to be able to use a Win7 or Win8 key to install Win10. Why do they do this? And why do they require you to have an account to install Win11? Because they no longer make their money by selling Windows licenses. They make their money by selling your information to whomever wants it, and they cannot attribute the information they gather to you unless you have an account.
The more you know....
^ This. Data harvesting pure and simple.
Windows should be rebranded as Backdoor instead
And exactly this is illegal
@@peterwolfik5827 It might be, except you agree to it when you click those boxes during the install process. Read the EULA.
I thought you were going to "explain" but all I see are accusation.
The oobe\bypassnro method will still work, but you MUST NOT connect to the network or internet until AFTER your first sign in, when prompted, click on "I don't have Internet" link at bottom and you can continue to sign in local. So, when installing Windows11, leave network cable or WiFi disconnected, until your all the way in.
Yeah that was how the oobe bypassnro worked
Exactly!!!
This was not doable just 3 days ago.
they will remove it eventually. they removed things in the past.
NTLite allowed me to create a custom Windows 11 iso without having to even log online
From the recent set up (about a week ago) I have done, OOBE\BYPASSNRO still works, but you have to disable your wifi network adapter first:
1. press Shift+(Fn)+F10 and select the window.
2. type ncpa.cpl (It should open the network adapter window)
3. Right click on the wifi adapter, click disable. Close that window
4. type oobe\bypassnro in the command prompt. The pc will restart.
5. You should be able to continue with limited setup.
Much as I appreciate the instructions, it's absolutely insane to require workarounds to access basic functionality of a thing you bought.
What if you just don't connect Ethernet cable?
@@StroggKingu skip steps 2 and 3 then.
@@GoodTofuFriday Correct!
Nice! worked
I build PC's and Laptops every day. All you need to do when it gets to this account setup page is disconnect the internet source. So pull the ethernet cable or turn the wifi off. then hit enter. After 20 seconds it will give up and give you the local account entry. Once you have done that, reconnect to the internet. Job done.
How do you custom build a laptop? 🤨
@@mycelia_ow Build meaning OS installs. Drivers, Patching. Either manually or via SCCM, Intune or clones.
Nope even that is blocked right now. I Scratch built my laptop 2 weeks ago on the latest insider build. With no network connection It fails, tells you the network is broken and drops you back to the sign on screen.

US marketing behaviour is getting to be a scam.
Its getting silly
Only "getting" to be a scam? I would argue it's been bad for decades, but that's a rant for another day. :P
Greed is Good
And now America has fallen down
I voted with my feet and left the USA for good. Best decision of my life!
When marketing was first invented by Edward Bernays, he used the psychoanalytical techniques of his uncle Sigmund Freud to, among other things, convince Americans that smoking cigarettes was "healthy".
Marketing tries not to outright kill people anymore (especially in a litigious environment like the US), but it is still a practice where they try to convince people to believe lies and half-truths so they will open their wallets.
To Bernays' credit, he did regret what he did for the tobacco industry.
Too bad most corporations Microsoft especially have mentality of a rapist
Because of Microsoft's untrustworthy behaviour, I (a life long Windows tech and power user) has installed started to learn Linux... Keep it up MS, let's see where it gets you 👍
I guess MS will keep winning because the majority of people worldwide will not go on Linux. And organisations and everyone else. Only a handful of geeks pride themselves with Linux and if you spend time in that community you get a wrong impression there are many of you. But there aren't really. If anything would kill MS, it would be people moving onto the mobile devices instead, like Android or Apple.
@@D.von.N Who cares, every new user Linux gets it's a win for them and a loss for Microsoft, even 5% is already a big deal, also organizations already use Linux in their servers and are moving their office PCs to it too, as there's no reason to pay for expensive licenses to Microsoft. People are moving to Linux more and more and that's a fact and all that matters. And the whole "there're not many of them" argument sounds like pure cope from a MS fanboy, there's hundreds of millions of Linux users across the world, and yes Microsoft has billions but that's going down everyday, especially in poor nations where people used to pirate Windows and now just go with Linux.
@@AJ-po6up I am not a fanboy of MS, just stating apparent. I had a webhosting on Linux but still operated my every day life on MS because most stuff out there is compatible with MS and things are cheaper against Mac. Linux requires more computing skills and lots of stuff doesn't work there.
@@D.von.N Yeah I can't disagree with that, I do still use Windows in my PCs along with Linux, thankfully the amount of hardware and software that doesn't work on Linux is shrinking all the time and the different distros have become very newbie friendly, I used to be totally tied to Windows but honestly now all the software that I use has a Linux counterpart or just works under Wine, and it just works with a few clicks whereas before you had to fiddle with the terminal and lots of commands.
@@AJ-po6up I am looking fwd the day when linux will be an equal competition against MS for an average user. Will it ever surpass MS? That's the question. Will Linux eventually go down the path of greed like MS, as it is often the case out there? That's even better question.
Done some extensive testing today. You are sort of correct on the bypassnro front. That is a bypass for when you do not have internet. So what they have done is check if there is internet and then make use of it, even if you did bypassnro. If you disable internet and don't set up wifi and do a bypassnro, you can continue without internet and create a local "limited" setup system like before with zero problems. Tried it several ways. I was trying way more complex things, monitoring changes in the system trying to determine things because you said it wasn't working. But turns out it was a simple matter of just ensuring there's no network access for the bypassnro to work.
If I have to put effort into hacking to install Windows I'd rather put that effort into learning Linux. Over the years Linux is getting easier to live with and once a PC is customized how you like I tend to just use it and the operating system falls away into the background, If I upgraded to Win 11 now some tasks will probably have to be looked up on how to do it, so I might as well just switch and pull the plug on Windows.
You make a really good point. Having to learn how to make 11 as lean as possible has left me wondering why I don’t try to move to Linux.
@@ghfjfghjasdfasdf Except gaming, but they are all moving to Steam and you can install Steam in Linux, so even gaming is no excuse to keep MS around. I have a Win 7 ssd on on a workstation for older Windows games, but it's Internet access is shut off.

I'm using Linux Mint right now. It's pretty good. Not perfect, but better than Windows. But some software only works on Windows, so I do still have to keep a spare computer with Windows :(

I can confirm from setting up two Windows 11 VM's on a server project I just did today that you are correct Brian. If there is any hint of internet access, OOBE\BYPASSNRO will loop you back around just like your video. However, if you disable wireless or, in my case, remove the NIC from my VM and do Shift+F10 and OOBE\bypassnro at that sign in screen, the system will reboot and you can get to to the classic 'I don't have internet' screen.
It's a shame we have to continue to find workarounds for this. As a tech who sets up domains and connects them to systems, having a local account is still essential in the little world I live in. Hopefully, Microsoft will see that businesses still have legitimate reasons for having local accounts. Thank you for the video. Be well.

** unless you like playing games
Try this method too, this might also work still (apparently it does for 23H2). This was also taken from the comments on the J2C video.
All you need to do is:
1. Shift F10 (must be an admin cmd if you test it outside of OOBE)
2. netsh interface show interface
3. netsh interface set interface "INTERFACE-NAME" disable
(Ex: netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" disable)
4. OOBE\BYPASSNRO
PC reboots
5. Step through and click on "I don't have internet"
The bypassnro command only works it the interface you are using to connect to internet is disabled because it reboots the OOBE setup in which it must have no internet from the start, not just in the middle or when you are on the network step. Pretty sure they patched out just using bypassnro alone.
Re-enable the interface once you are on desktop.

No but I hear it coming
It’s even happening in windows 10 however skip online install and go offline when you are in the windows 10 setup screen
It's no different to being forced to use an Apple ID whenever you use any Mac or a Google account with a Chromebook
The last laptop I installed had no ethernet port and the WiFi wasn't working before drivers, which prevented me from launching it, because of the online account requirement. Without the bypass, I would literally have no way to install it!
Also, amazing that they're doing this AFTER the EU said they're not allowed to force users to use an online account in the region.
Honestly since you said that I hope the eu sues Microsoft and force them to comply and I think the eu is the only thing that will keep the corporation's from doing shady things if they Crack down vary hard
Yep but the U.S. is not the EU so they will exploit U.S. users until they can't...
The local user is a feature of windows 11 pro. It has to be the pro version and you use the join to domain option. it will then let you set up a local user. In my opinion Microsoft should allow it for the home version.
AH, I thought so. I had to use the Pro version of Win 10 to block Windows updates because it's impossible to do on other versions.
I have Win11 Home OEM version and I have only a local account. This was setup by the pc shop where I bought my pc so it's certainly possible to have a local account on a Home version.
@@powerpc6037 Win11 originally tried to force online accounts but people bypassed it and Microsoft relented and allowed it. From the video they are trying to force it again for the home versions. I can imagine your version was one of the former ones that gave the option. I am aware of some cmd commands for some of those versions to enable local account but those are being patched out in later versions.
Never happen, THAT is where the advertising revenue is.
Use an acct then setup a local account. I just did it 5 days ago
I had a feeling it would end up being "join a domain". Will they eventually make you fill-in a domain name and go through joining it to a domain? That would be awful. Thankfully I'm on my last few "home built" computers and all are running Windows 11 so I won't be loading a new Windows 11 build in the future unless it blows up and the system just needs to be reloaded. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. THANKS!
i just experienced this on a new build from a week ago, Too bad I didn't have this video at the time I was installing Windows 11. The tyranny grows.
This is why I stopped buying a computer and went to Linux because why buy a new computer when it will be rendered obsolete doesn't that kill the purpose of a computer with this useless ass End of Life policy Linux at least offers LTS when Microsoft doesn't.
Every time I see videos like this it just confirms my mindset that I made the right choice to switch to Linux when windows 7 was unsupported. I had to battle with windows updates to stop windows 10 being installed by stealth.
I would rather find tutorials on how to use a new bit of software than fighting with windows to stop it being bunch of bloated malware.
I did registry edits and changed file names in the system32 folder to stop all traces of win 10 install nagging.

Non acceptance of change. Windows 10 is likely better than 7 and 11 than 10. I installed linuxmint mate on m in law's travelmate as I cannot get 10 or 11 to completely install.
I installed Linux Mint about a year ago (dual boot). Got it all set up as close as possible to look like Windows. It mostly worked pretty good except for gaming. Particularly Steam and World of Warcraft- unplayable vs. win10 for me. So I just always booted up win10 instead of Mint.
Came back to Mint like a week ago and WOW! Games are working and looking great. Steam seems to have fixed compatibility issues. Can't even tell I'm not on win10 except for the file system (which is closer to windows than you may think), menus and task bar.
I've even found that I don't need to open the terminal window very often. A lot of stuff installs just like windows .exe files.
Adios MS.
yeah nice one, and Linux Mint isn't even really that geared toward gaming - as it uses an old kernel. The Edge ISO download can help mitigate that somewhat.
Imagine if you were using a Distro for gaming like Nobara then!
Linux is the future!
@@user-kr6ih2gz5l Yeah, well, it just took a long time to get mint setup like I like it... Will check it out though.
I just got Genshin Impact (for all it's worth) to run on my Linux Mint install. It took a bit of work (no terminal whatsoever) copying and pasting the data folder in the proton compat folders for it to work. Crazy cool stuff. No hiccups, no fuss, 1000% playable.
bypassnro should still work providing you're not connected to a network (wifi or wired) so make sure you unplug the ethernet cable before installing Windows and don't connect to wifi during the post install oobe
My concern is that Microsoft will release an update in the future that forces user's who bypassed the Windows11 account setup to create a Windows account before they will be able to log in to their computer .
And hold your files as hostage. I smell randsomware legalisation.
They likely will. Or at least re-add that stupid annoying webview window appearing every 3 days

@@TechnoMinded-qp5in Unix like, not Unix based. That's an old misnomer.
The fact that Microsoft is actively working against the community to patch these methods shows, they are only concerned about getting our data and having control. Linux is looking better and better each day.

Don't connect to the internet in the initial setup, that is a must. If the setup doesn't allow you to use "I don't have internet" option. Alt+F10 and run the "oobe\bypassnro", If you are using a OEM version, you may have a error of file not found. That means you have a folder "oobe" in system32 get inside and there you may find the "bypassnro.cmd" run it and it will reboot. Then you restart the setup and "I don't have internet" will be available.
Did you even watch the video?
@@darkspongebob11 It seems the Shift+F10 method didn't work because Britec was network connected. You have to be disconnected from the internet and, after restarting, you should be able to choose "I don't have internet" to proceed.
@@darkspongebob11 I did. Did you?
I just did an install this week of Windows 10. There was a "I don't have internet" link in the OOBE (forgot to use it). However the bypass command was not recognized, and no bypassnro.cmd either. MS must be putting the functionality in something else, because I was able to complete setup without using a MS account despite that, even though I had already connected to a network with internet access. (Yes, I realize the video is for Win11.)
@@NotAnotherArtVideo Weird, was a OEM version that comes with the computer or a installation using the ISO from Microsoft? If you are using a ISO i recomend using Rufus to prepare a USB drive. Rufus has tweaks to skip things during the OOBE.

Try this. Looks overly simplistic, but works
Before you begin the Windows 11 installation, ensure the coumpuuter is NOT connected to ANY networks! So that it is a true offline stand alone computer.Then commence the install.
Because the computer is then an offline system, you get the option to use local accounts. Once the installation is completed, you can put the computer online and get any updates and patches that would have otherwise been installed during the installation phase.
Last exercise using this method was last week.
It's scummy behaviour like this that pushed me into using Linux full time about five years ago. I didn't want to. Linux has a few difficulties, and some software I need straight up does not work. But all of the drawbacks of Linux were eventually outweighed by Microsoft's sheer malfeasance. In the years that have followed, seeing all that has happened, I have only become more sure that my decision was the correct one.
👏👏 This is Microshift here and we ar watching U Brian.
Thanks for all the heads up you keep giving us and yes we will one day finally block all the loopholes you keep exposing. 😆😆
Why isn't Microsoft addressing the issue of the soon-to-be unsupported PC hardware? Soon-to-be "e-waste": hundreds of millions of older non-TPM 2.0 hardware. If they wanted to be "environmentally friendly", they would create an updated "Windows 7 - 2024" edition that would continue being supported (with free security updates) past the official expiration date for Windows 7, 8 & 10 security updates.
It's funny to think about because, well, my WIndows 7 PC laptops, and many of our old ones, pretty much died around 2013 - 2017 because, well, it just stopped working. But instead, we've kept those in our closet until the day we find someone or know how to replace and get it back up and working and go from there. When my laptops die, I don't throw them out. Rather, I keep them as history pieces for what I used to use, which also includes Windows XP desktops that no longer work either.
It's all a money-making scam. They pretend to care about saving the planet while rendering many devices useless with their software so that they can make more money by selling copies of Windows 11 to OEMs and then you buy the new devices from the OEM. Great way for both companies to make some money. For the standard home user that doesn't game and only uses the computer for light web browsing, email, etc...even a Core2 from a decade ago could handle most everything a typical home user would need. So, something needs to be done in order to migrate people off that hardware and onto something new. At least in the 90s and into the early 2000s, computers were really getting faster and more expansive in storage and memory, so it made sense to buy a new computer every so often. But what has truly changed in the past 10 years to make a computer faster and better that the average home user would actually notice? The bottom line is, they just want to make more money while still pretending to care about the environment. Remember, Windows Update is committed to reducing carbon emissions. What do they think trees are for? 🤔
You know, I wonder how well Linux would keep those going. What I've seen myself by bringing old machines back into use thanks to Linux felt like necromancy, but I'm really not sure how much support the regular common home user would need
it has never been about the environment...
look up where all the plastic is going and how the places we've been sending it (China, Taiwan, Philippines, etc) are now banning the import of it for processing.
I mean, why would they address the issue of the "unsopported pc's"?
They created the whole TPM bs so that those said pc's you've mentioned can actually be e-waste.
So this is the thing that makes people switch to Linux? Not 25-character product keys (98), product activation (XP), user account control (Vista), or turning your PC into a phone (8)? I'll believe it when I finally see a mass migration to Linux. That hasn't happened yet. Hasn't happened in 26 years and isn't going to happen today.
Have you not noticed all the people switching to Linux? Do you think they're bluffing or joking?
@@user-ym7qn3uo2m I do IT for a living and have done so for some 30 years. I'm only seeing non-Windows in appliances and specialized virtual machines, not on desktops.

I never update to Windows 11 at home. Ridiculously increased system requirements, TPM chip 2.0 requirement, forced online account usage, ads in the start menu... Fortunately I don't play online games with my PC, the Steam Proton compatibility layer is working under more and more games.

I've had a note on my phone for the better part of a year now with exactly this workaround method. Being at 25+ year Linux user, I despise the Microsoft Account being forced on people.

@@tobyzilla Nobody should be forced to make an account or even connect to the internet to install an OS or finish an initial setup of a PC.

@646464mario I 100% agree you shouldn't have to be on the internet to install something that normally doesn't require you to connect to the internet and the whole haveing to make a account just to use your own computer is literally a anti trust lawsuit waiting to happen
Another tip is to select English (International) rather than English (US) on the first prompt. It prevents a lot of the crappy start menu adware from automatically downloading on first boot - you can then change the locale back in language settings.

What amazes me is that people are still willing to pay Microsoft to be abused like this, particularly when there are perfectly usable alternatives available for free. To me, it has all the symptoms of Stockholm syndrome.

Maybe you have the Stockholm syndrome with your illusion of choice.

Linux is not nearly a Windows Alternative! For an beginner it is. But when i handle Linux like my Windows in have to new install every Linux distribution twice a day!
@MichaelDustter I beg to differ, and its not about easily breaking Linux of which it is easy to do so just by updating to the latest display drivers that have not been extensively tested or debugged and way more to do with some software I use that does not fully function even with Native Debian and Arch support with its own libraries available to download, such niggling issues are what stops me from switching.

I'm not coming back to Microsoft until they bring back Bill Gates all these other CEO are losers.
I'm fortunate that I have a Linux system set up as a domain controller and can pretend to be "connecting to work". I just join myself to the domain and use that account!
Though last time I set up Windows 11, it didn't occur to me that I could do this, so I bypassed NRO (the DELL shipped with 22H2).
What needs to happen (but likely never will) is the court of law needs to step up and inform Microsoft that since it's sold the physical hardware of the computer it has ZERO rights to that specific physical hardware it sold which includes the usage of that hardware, therefore it has ZERO right to put ANY restrictions WHAT SO EVER on the person who bought the computer. (Having to use a Microsoft account counts as a restriction)
Edit: unfortunately the court of law in the United States no longer has the funding needs to do it's job therefore they MUST pick and choose which laws to enforce... Most don't get enforced in a lot of areas...

1) yes 2) yes
They need to keep the ' no internet ' option. There are reasons to have ' air gapped ' installs for data security reasons. They are breaking legit reasons for installs without internet.
All Windows installs should be air gapped; the installation media is missing the security patches it should have before being allowed on the Internet.
It's their, but it is not explicit. Just don't connect to the internet :)
Have you tried disconnecting the ethernet cable until after you create your first account? I used to do that at my old job in order to create local accounts on Windows 10 and I could avoid needing to create security questions and so on. This was several years back though. Can't create a M$ account without internet.
I ended up trying a bunch of stuff yesterday, I managed to bypass it by simply just unplugging my ethernet cable and restarting my computer.

Linux is great. However many mainstream apps don’t run natively on Linux. IT support doesn’t have time to make it work in WINE. (I know. That’s my job) So we cannot use Linux in the workplace.

Disconnecting your Internet access before the setup process will also work. If you have Ethernet, unplug it. If you have WiFi, don't connect to a network. When it gets to the network setup screen, just click 'I don't have internet' and voila! Local account enabled.
