Got myself a few usbs with windows 10 and 11 installations with these settings. Great thing. I only need to click the 'i dont have internet' and 'continue with limited settings" buttons during the installations. It automatically denies the preferences settings. As well as create the same use account. Also made a little batch file to open up settings:update, connect to wifi, and start office installation among a few other things. Note: for Rufus to work you need to boot to the usb in uefi mode.
Rufus is great, but Ventoy has made it almost obsolete. After Ventoy is installed to the USB, you can copy your ISOs directly to the USB and they can be booted from. Incredible tool and easy to use.
Problem is that if you boot a regular Win 11 ISO from Ventoy, Windows will still want Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 when it boots. Most distros don't need either, nor does Win 10. Using Rufus to make the boot drive eliminates that problem. Not all the Windows games I want to play will run under Proton and not all the apps under Wine.
@@blazechaos212sure it isn't, unless its a already slow windows notebook, windows 11 is a hog to run, and school laptops have a full strugle fest on it, the updates are annoying, the optimization is non existent and game support is far worse than windows 10.

It's basically bare bones windows, where the entire code is exposed, this means that if you really know what you're doing you can turn Linux into a highly personalised operating system without the restrictions of Windows or Mac. This is why it's a favourite among coders.
You could also use a software called Ventoy if you like keeping multiple ISOs in the same drive. I keep bootable ISOs of Ubuntu, Fedora, and Windows 10 (yes, Win10. I'm not using Win11 up until I absolutely have to) on the same drive and it's soooo good.
Ironically I find it more annoying when people hate on first comments, as if they are so mad about them then why give them attention when that’s what they want
You can still easily use a local account with Windows 11, even without the customised iso. When you reach the login screen, you choose organisation instead of personal, then use the domain join option which creates a local account.
Windows 11 24H2 will ditch all 64-bit Pentium and Core 2 Duo architectures by turning on POPCNT SSE4.2 instruction in the various kernel binary files. However the previous Windows 10 and Windows 11 23H2 will be supported until October and November 2025 respectively. If you collect retro rigs, you might want to preserve the last working Windows for the obsolete platforms.
Oh, that's cool! I always install windows with no connection to the internet, so I can postpone having to register a Microsoft account indefinitely lol. But this is even better
Just make sure you disable bitlocker first. If you don't have a Microsoft account and go changing your drive orders around you can lock yourself out your own hard-drive. Just create an account then disable bit locker protection then go and load your Bootable drove. My asus laptop has that bs installed and locked me out windows when I used Rufus to load a distribution of ububtu. Swapping boot order in bios can trigger bit locker.
Thank you! I hadn’t opened my MSI laptop in probably a year; and it is so slow because of how out of date it is. It’s too out of date to update itself to newer version of Windows 10, and too out of date to see I am infact eligible for windows 11. It’s been super annoying
you can also do it by opening the registry using cmd during installation if i remember correctly however i am not too certain with newer versions of windows 11, they probably patched it or not but its also a good alternative
Thank you so much for this! I have a threadripper 1920x running in my vm server but can't install win 11 because of TPM, going to have to give this ago
This has always been possible on all windows versions you just create an answer file for the installation. There's plenty of websites that can help you and you can customise it much more than you think.
I got a free PC from a friend because it wouldn't go to Windows 11. It still blasts through all the apps I use with ease even though it's 10+ years old. I guess there is hope after all.
Just press Shift+F10 and type in terminal "oobe/bypassnro" in the beginning of the setup. You should be able to create Local Account. Just make sure to not connect to Internet in setup. Do it after setup.
Or just download the ISO file, mount it as a temporary drive, run your command promptas administrator and choose to install server from products folder. Don’t need any other open sourced programs to do anything. The server version doesn’t check for any prerequisite hardware. I installed windows 11 and 15 minutes on Lavano laptop from 2016.
Of you are a noob, you can use this, but if you are a pro, its really easy to do in registry editor without rufus by yourself, and thats what i would do at this point, it also disables the secure boot check, and cpu and ram check! Also theres a easy command what you can run in the internet connection screen to get the i dont have wifi button, but you need to be all time disconnected from internet before running the command to get it working, not so hard
Note: Latest Windows 11 iso doesn't allow you to do the OOBE without the internet. Because Microsoft is generous to at least give us the option by.... being offline, giving you access to local accounts without any networks showing up.
MS is definitely going to take away the ability to do this at some point. Especially the account requirement, which has been rumored for a few months now.
you can also just forget the wifi to prevent the online account requirement. i always skip connect to wifi when i get a new machine, but i will be trying this next time i get a new computer because the bloatware is insane.
Does stock Ventoy allow you to bypass the requirements and skip the privacy questions though? I'm sure you could do it with plugins, but for simplicity this is way better.

@@shebangbinbash1776 Everyone is surveilling you. Cuz one person started doing it, then another, then a group, then more. Now it's the norm. You can't play a video game without signing some EULA that gives them rights to all your data, all your online privacy. Viewing UA-cam with an adblocker causes them to inject crap that destroys your PC out of spite (Search it, it's too long to explain honestly). Everything is screwed, Firefox, Linux, literally every piece of tech that can access the internet and requires a sign-in.
Is it legal? Yes, because they said so, and so it is. Does it benefit you? Not in the slightest, not one bit. Is it right? Lotta people seem to not care at all, invading peoples' privacy is now a gray area, rather than a crime.
Wonder how much further they'll take it, thought we were living in a clown world before, but it could be so much worse. And it will be.
@@shebangbinbash1776 Yee so is every other browser, half the games I play use EAC which does the same thing, that program is basically malware skinwalking as security. You can't escape it anymore.
They're the complaints department as well, which is great.
We used rufus for installing windows 10 to my computer a few days this friday and all I can say is that I love how easy it is
wait till this guy figures out Linux exists
What’s linuz? Never heard of it before
@@Soupinator1 Linux, it's an open source, free operating system. It's basically bare bones windows, where the entire code is exposed, this means that if you really know what you're doing you can turn Linux into a highly personalised operating system without the restrictions of Windows or Mac. This is why it's a favourite among coders.
@@thehellhound8582 i know what linux is. You said linuz
You could also use a software called Ventoy if you like keeping multiple ISOs in the same drive. I keep bootable ISOs of Ubuntu, Fedora, and Windows 10 (yes, Win10. I'm not using Win11 up until I absolutely have to) on the same drive and it's soooo good.
First? Sorry if its annoying
Ironically I find it more annoying when people hate on first comments, as if they are so mad about them then why give them attention when that’s what they want
@@antlionworkerfan2007 you're right.
Not at all mate,you are free to use your one brain cell for whatever you want :)
Downloading now and backing it up for future reference. Everyone should do this NOW and save it to a USB flash drive.
Why would you buy windows anyway? It much easier to use kmsauto or a modified version, they really dont deserve 170$ for this garbage.
Probably cuz that is stealing the software and that’s illegal
@@LegoMaster5197 well, it depend on where you live, but im sure what even in the US no-one would come to inspect your PC.
Or y'know, Linux
Nobody cares if you pirate an OS
Not to mention it’s morally right to do so.
Just buy an OEM licence
ive reinstalled (refresh) so many computers this past few weeks, rufus has been so nice to have its tweaks.
You can still easily use a local account with Windows 11, even without the customised iso. When you reach the login screen, you choose organisation instead of personal, then use the domain join option which creates a local account.
Windows 11 24H2 will ditch all 64-bit Pentium and Core 2 Duo architectures by turning on POPCNT SSE4.2 instruction in the various kernel binary files. However the previous Windows 10 and Windows 11 23H2 will be supported until October and November 2025 respectively. If you collect retro rigs, you might want to preserve the last working Windows for the obsolete platforms.
As someone who uses Bootcamp from Mac to boot into Windows 10 this is defo something I'm gonna use
Been using this for months now. Works like a charm
I've been using rufus to make my installation usb for years since I first discovered it close to a decade ago. Great tool.
I’ve almost never installed windows without RUFUS, it’s so goated
Oh, that's cool! I always install windows with no connection to the internet, so I can postpone having to register a Microsoft account indefinitely lol. But this is even better
Thats incredibly useful!
Just make sure you disable bitlocker first. If you don't have a Microsoft account and go changing your drive orders around you can lock yourself out your own hard-drive. Just create an account then disable bit locker protection then go and load your Bootable drove. My asus laptop has that bs installed and locked me out windows when I used Rufus to load a distribution of ububtu. Swapping boot order in bios can trigger bit locker.
Me and ny brother have been using rufus since the launch of windows 10. Didn't know it was that underrated
Ventoy also gives you the option for customize windows isos as well as supporting multiple bootable isos inside one single drive
How about Tiny 11? I love it, it makes it is small and boost performance
Thank you! I hadn’t opened my MSI laptop in probably a year; and it is so slow because of how out of date it is. It’s too out of date to update itself to newer version of Windows 10, and too out of date to see I am infact eligible for windows 11. It’s been super annoying
you can also do it by opening the registry using cmd during installation if i remember correctly
however i am not too certain with newer versions of windows 11, they probably patched it or not but its also a good alternative

I thought ppl knew this already, i get to know abt this on my ubuntu transition days tho 😅
Thats hell of a banger to known if is practically is your daily task installong Windows, i didnt know about this!!
Nice, I just got a dell inspiron 24 3455, and it has the perfect specs for this but, The hard drive failed, so perfect timing ^w^
Thank you so much for this! I have a threadripper 1920x running in my vm server but can't install win 11 because of TPM, going to have to give this ago
This has always been possible on all windows versions you just create an answer file for the installation. There's plenty of websites that can help you and you can customise it much more than you think.
one can also use NTLite and debloat the ISO and then use rufus to turn the USB into a bootable drive
I have been using rufus for the last 3 years and it is actually true . Tip: rufus can flash in dd mode on supported iso's
I got a free PC from a friend because it wouldn't go to Windows 11. It still blasts through all the apps I use with ease even though it's 10+ years old. I guess there is hope after all.
Just press Shift+F10 and type in terminal "oobe/bypassnro" in the beginning of the setup. You should be able to create Local Account. Just make sure to not connect to Internet in setup. Do it after setup.
"I don't want all that MS nonesense!"
*Proceeds to install **_Windows_*
But still, it's a cool tip, thank you.
Or just download the ISO file, mount it as a temporary drive, run your command promptas administrator and choose to install server from products folder. Don’t need any other open sourced programs to do anything. The server version doesn’t check for any prerequisite hardware. I installed windows 11 and 15 minutes on Lavano laptop from 2016.
Im remaking my backup boot usb right now, thank you
Rufus has been there for a long while now, a best tool in your toolkit.
I used Rufus a few times to install Win10/11 in the past, but I didn't knew that. LOL!
Been using Rufus for 10 yrs now. This is exactly how I installed windows 11 too 3 yrs back
Wow...I'll DEFINITELY be looking into this!!
You can also do this at the command line when you boot the standard installation media.
Of you are a noob, you can use this, but if you are a pro, its really easy to do in registry editor without rufus by yourself, and thats what i would do at this point, it also disables the secure boot check, and cpu and ram check! Also theres a easy command what you can run in the internet connection screen to get the i dont have wifi button, but you need to be all time disconnected from internet before running the command to get it working, not so hard

Thanks. I might use this and only log in to steam.
I hear Steam on Linux is great nowadays.
Rufus is GOATed
Note: Latest Windows 11 iso doesn't allow you to do the OOBE without the internet. Because Microsoft is generous to at least give us the option by.... being offline, giving you access to local accounts without any networks showing up.
MS is definitely going to take away the ability to do this at some point. Especially the account requirement, which has been rumored for a few months now.
Yes. I used Rufus to install a Windows to-go on my external ssd, so it doesn't mess with my linux installation :)
soon as my surface pro 2 i bought for work comes in i will do exactly this.
you can also just forget the wifi to prevent the online account requirement. i always skip connect to wifi when i get a new machine, but i will be trying this next time i get a new computer because the bloatware is insane.
I thought everyone who's built a pc knew this besides the cool Rufus tool thing
I wish Rufus has a “lite” option that removes all the junk I never use, like phone link and all the Microsoft spyware.
Gonna need a full reinstall soon so am saving this !
Hopefully this will be helpful when Windows 12 comes onto the playing field.
Ventoy does most of these things, and it lets you simply drag and drop and boot ISOs on a flash drive easily
Does stock Ventoy allow you to bypass the requirements and skip the privacy questions though? I'm sure you could do it with plugins, but for simplicity this is way better.
I thought this way the way you were supposed to install windows???? I been doing this and only this my entire life.
I love how he honestly said I am not trying to sell you anything 😂
I donno, I think the FBI will show up at my house....
literally just did this after my brother told me that rufus does it and it was so simple. W11 on my i7 6700k system
