Install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account

There is a simple way to install Windows 11 without having to sign up for a Microsoft account. We will use a command to prevent Windows from requiring installation / setup with and then we will disconnect the internet at the appropriate time in the installation process.giorgos login win11

Let's start:

Follow the Windows 11 installation process until you reach the “select country” screen.

Now we'll have to shut down the internet. However, before doing so, you should provide a command that prevents Windows 11 from forcing an Internet connection.

Press Shift + F10 and a command prompt will appear.

Type the command OOBE\BYPASSNRO to stop requiring an Internet connection (OOBE = out-of-box ).oobe

The computer will restart and return you to this screen. If it doesn't reboot, type shutdown / r and press Enter to reboot. Windows 11 will reboot and enter OOBE again.

Press Shift + F10 again. This time type ipconfig /release and press Enter to disable the Internet.ipconf

Close the command prompt and continue with the installation, selecting your region, and keyboard.

Then a screen will appear that says “Let's connect you to a network”, warning you that you need Internet.windows11 lets connect you to a network 05

Just do it to "I don't have Internet" to continue.

  1. I don't know if it still works, in the window that asks for a microsoft account you can put the email no@thank.you and a random code will produce an error and Windows will be forced to put you with a Local User and not with a Microsoft Account.
