I'm NOT Creating A Microsoft Account!!!

- We are at it again with a new way to bypass creating a Microsoft account in Windows 11. This should work on 23H2 as well as 24H2 once its released. Hopefully. If not, I will find another way. If this doesn't work, check my page to see if there's an update.

The day a Microsoft account becomes unavoidable will be the day I ditch Microsoft for good.
I'm thinking of downgrading to win10 and dual boot with kde. The only thing i really need win is for gaming.
You can never ditch them if you're a dev. for example, I code on Microsoft VS Code, with Microsoft TS on Microsoft Windows, which I push on Microsoft GitHub and host the site on Microsoft Azure
and Google too forces a Google Account for android if you wanna use it for some real work like apps
@@ahqsoftwares But you still have the ability of downloading apps outside of the Google services, so it's not mandatory
Linux 🎉
I don't want a microsoft account. I don't want it in a house, I don't want it with a mouse, I will not have it in a box, I will not use it with a fox, I will not have it here or there, I will not have it anywhere.
😂🤣
Your loss, you won't have game pass and xbox games in the app.
@@sklynexd I think they are ok with that.
Would you could you on a boat?
@@sklynexdEnjoy not having privacy.
I remember when computers didn't need to be connected to the internet in order to just ... work.
I remember it needed to connected to the mains outlet for it to work...those 13" CRT monitors needed it...
Those times are over
@@SWOTHDRA Because we allowed it
now they do the same thing (or less) but requiset extra and "special" needs! real progressive world 2020s.
Long live XP! heh
Malwarebytes 5 now requires you to create an account before entering your license key. I had to install version 4, activate it, and then update to version 5. Companies are going increasingly annoying.
Everything got annoying. Companies just want to steal money from you. Everything got cheap as hell and companies like Asus don't care about you
Not paying them dime anymore. Also offering way more expensive subs with vpn etc.
@@Tsiikki Was still able to use my old lifetime purchase key so I basically costs me nothing.
They want your data, and as much of it is physically possible. They don't care how hard they have to push to get it because you as a product are worth a lot to them.
Use Tronscript if you need to disinfect your computer. If you need an antivirus though, do not use Malwarebytes, do not even use an external antivirus. Windows defender and common sense are enough. For all the shit I give Microsoft for, WD is actually good now so I'll credit them for that.
You could also just switch over to Linux though.
It's just hilarious and sad that Microsoft spends more time locking the user choices instead of making their operating system consistent and fixing bugs
@@RetroPC-vy3kt Because it's supposed to be your device. You should be able to change anything about it
Companies doesn't care. You are the product and ms is pretty silly if they don't get your private data for sale
Valve needs to separate themselves. Gaming is the only thing keeping this scamming company alive........Valve needs to go linux and force nvidia and especially amd to do the same
@@SWOTHDRA Yeah, I think if my entire steam library was suddenly workable (without a ton of excess effort) on Linux I wouldn't have very many things left keeping me tied to windows.
But how else are they going to make billions more in profit to appease shareholders and make fatter bonuses for big Bill???? Gotta advertise on absolutely everything, even the OS!
It's MY gear and I'll do whatever I like, get it, gut it, make it YOURS.
But the OS doesn't belong to you and Microsoft can tell you want it wants to.
@trainmaster0217 what's microsoft going to do? stop us? Good luck with that
@@RJFK2145 If they want to stop us they surely can. Our computers belong to us...BUT the OS does not. If we don't like their decisions then we have to chose another OS.
@@trainmaster0217 Yeah, sure they could try to iron out every little exploit and waste a bunch of money and time in the process, or they will throw one quick patch that makes the average person sign up for an account. I do agree though that switching would be better, that's why I dual boot Linux and Windows.
@RJFK2145 I've been using linux for about ten Nine ish months and I love it And what you just said is like a game of Is wackmole or a game of cat and mouse, Microsoft should just let geeks be geeks. I'm just glad I escaped bill gates's grasp
They didn't consider there might be people out there who have no internet connection and want to set up windows. They just bricked those computers.
Microsoft did the same with Xbox One/Series S/X you can't setup the consoles without internet...plus constantly checking on your games licenses...
All this is BS. I guess those people are force to use Linux or BSD.
A new OS just causes hardware to be scrapped . Lol fill the surplus and landfills.
@@GM-Shenmue There's reason why Xbox is falling console and Xbox users look for hacked dashboards.
I'm sure they're aware. I bet they just don't care though. Heartless corporations are like that.
I do this OOBE process every day at work when loading and setting up customer systems...it works great.
Can't believe they don't offer better options below an Enterprise level. Smh
@@jwhiteker1 even at enterprise level its the same thing. I had to setup pcs for my job at university, they had windows 11 enterprise installed, and we still had to go through this stupid OOBE process and bypass the microsoft account. That's until I found out abt rufus to skip the oobe 💀
Can it be automated with some kind of gpt agent or something? like just plug in a usb stick with an AI agent and let it do its thing... in like, 3 seconds, it's done
What? Like seriously, what? Gpt agent? You know that for gpt api calls you need internet right? As the comment above you suggested, use rufus skip function :D @@Corteum
Using Pro version and using the join domain route does not force to join a domain, it still a workgroup by default. Pro version of windows installs the features to be able to join a domain, regardless. The option to set up for work or school is simply there for IT professions to easily create a local admin account. It is just assumed, because its Pro version, that the intent is to join a domain once ready to, but completely optional in reality.
This is my experience. I always use that method. Just don’t join a domain.
Domain join is fine. You can create the local account and it will not affect anything.
That's what I was thinking too.
Besides, you can just edit the network after installation anyway.
There is a requirement for an air-gapped device running in the Windows environment that never gets connected to a network, MS must keep a way of doing just that.
not unless you are willing to pay extra for that privilege
Get an enterprise license, maybe?
This is the kind of shit the Pro version should just be able to do. Do whatever with the Home version, but what good is the Pro version if it keeps up with the bullshit.
@@illegalsmirf nope rufus or enter a invalid email adress to keep shitty micrososft account away from any computer
Do they? That doesn't sound like a Microsoft problem to me.
watching this on my Linux Mint mini PC....relaxed....sipping coffee....danish cookies on the side...
Linux mint is amazing. I too been using it. 4 years and counting. Very impressed with the mint dev team. Kudos to all involved with mint.
I think I've been Mint since 2013 or 2014. Still rocking it with my 2013 Dell 7010sff, daily driver.
@@FarmerRiddick i still can't get over the fact that mint only uses 1.5gb of ram out my 16gb of ram total. Not only that, every single boot is consistent. What i mean by this is that whenever i power up mint. It all loads on a single shot and stops on a dime the moment you see the desktop. Not a single disk and cpu activity whatsoever. Your pc is always idle.
And because the drivers are already baked right in to the linux kernel. I don't have to worry about drivers at all. Either your linux kernel supports your current hardware or it don't. No silly bsod windows drivers that just mysteriously stops working.
Also, swapping linux kernels is easy peasy. Once you find the kernel that works with your hardware, you stick with the x version kernel and forget it. Pretty much a done deal with drivers which has been the experience for me for the past 4 years on linux mint.
Like for example. Kernels 5.15.xx will work with semi modern systems or systems that are 3 +years older but may have problems with bleeding edge hardware. For those systems. You upgade the kernel to either 6.5.xx or the newest 6.8.xx These kernels will handle the latest and greatest hardware you can throw at it. I upgraded the linux kernel on my mint to 6.8 and watch your hardware come to life on boot and that's it. No stupid windows updates installing half baked drivers that ends up borking itself.
I did have to learn to be a little more self-reliant since you can bork a Linux install in spectacular ways, but for the most part it picks up at the point Microsoft lost their minds.
Debian here... but yes, windows is bloatware. A completely avoidable virus.

"....up to their little games...."

Less frolicy, more sinister, yet also more whimsical.
@@NeilHaskins
I didn't think so, but saying it out loud....yea, I can understand where somebody might think that. Wasn't meant that way, but it is kind of on the funny side as well....
I think shenanigans is still the better phrase. Maybe I watched too much CDPGrey for a while, brought back that old term.
Reminds me of Supertroopers
"Our shenanigans are cheeky and fun. His shenanigans are cruel and tragic"
"Which makes them not Shenanigans, Evil shenanigans"
Thank you for keeping up with this. I was relieved at the end to find out that the near term updates will not require the work around even though I would have gone through them. How or who can we voice our irritation against this incessant push to always log in to MS to use our computers.
5:14 leaves all the spyware telemetry stuff on like a boss
Apparently you didnt notice, but this video was about how to install Win11 without the Microsoft acc bs. Disabling telemetry is shown in other videos.
Very thankful for this. What would we do without guys like you?
THANK YOU!!! The last time I did an install, a few months ago now, I did the BYPASSNRO, which had always worked for me before. But this time I got hit with the sign in screen at 08:20 in the video. I thought this meant the BYPASSNRO workaround didn't work any more, and so I capitulated and used a Microsoft account. Grrrr!!! Thank you so much for sharing the subsequent ipconfig /release workaround! Now I know for next time!
Here we go again !!!! I am getting a bit fed up with this crap from Microsoft. They are getting desperate, I think.
It is high time for a new round of anti-trust lawsuits against Microsoft. They are getting way to cocky, also with their aggressive pushing of Edge, OneDrive, and Bing.
@@jimhalpert9421 Edge is actually better apart from the fact that it is kinda bloated
They are simply following Apple...
Yes, and edge with the wait no, don't download chrome, I'm better, wait please.... It knows this will be it's first and last use.
@@FirstLast-pt9zg Edge is indeed better tho even when I don't use it as my primary browser
I love your videos! Thank you so much. I had no idea we could access command prompt inside of the setup.. I’ve been helping my clients avoid a M$ account since early Win8/10 and you just changed my world. Always awesome content on your channel
Great Tips! Keep it up.
huh, it's interesting the offline method still works because not only was that always my go-to workaround once I knew of simpler ones (thanks your last vid on this subject!), but I was sure I tried that method on my version of 24H2 and found it didn't work anymore :o I'll have to try it again since I could be mistaken, but I'm so thankful for videos like this because I refuse to not only setup Windows with a Microsoft account, but I've also always refused to setup Windows online. I've always installed Windows offline and put it online once I've needed to since I don't want Microsoft downloading or changing anything externally until I'm ready for that.
It's a shame we have to do that. Back in the day we just installed windows 7 and entered our name and boom windows 7 is ready (if we ignore the drivers)
Next build they'll remove command prompt. Shame they are being so stubborn but at the end of the day we're the product now.
We're actually not the product. We are the creators of products. And with the help of AI, that ability to create better products is going to skyrocket into orbit and beyond.
Excellent video and presentation. Just earned my subscription.
11:36 no, the greatest workaround of all is to install linux
The more they force microsoft accounts on us, the more of us will switch to linux moving forward.
You can hold more sand in a cupped hand than in a clenched fist.
Now. If microsoft added value to having a microsoft account by having their own version of a family streaming service that required one and the family would be able to upload any movies they own on it and be able to set parental controls, it would have worked, because the hand would have still been cupped so to speak. But once the make it more and more mandatory with no bypass, the more folks will reject windows and microsoft in its entirety.
According to reports, despite windows 11 being the latest windows, people are still continuing to use windows 10, some people even use windows 7, fewer use XP :O
@@Snorlaxiian I'm still on 10. Windows 11 made some dumb choices I really don't care for, and then there is this continued attempt to stop us from creating a local account. I really don't understand why they keep blocking the work-arounds... Seriously these are already in the realm where normal people can't/won't do it so we are small in number anyhow, just let us do our thing ffs.
@@HVDynamo At the huge risk of being called a "conspiracy theorist", dear lord... It seems to me that Microsoft and co are operating shall we say as sociopaths/psychopaths...? They want total control over everything and coerce us into doing things as well - such as having to agree to a license agreement to use a piece of shit software that is compatible with most apps available. If we flip over to the linux world, there are apps available but not the same scope as windows or for that matter macOS. And if there is one company more defended and culty it has to be Apple.
Yes but with a clenched fist all your sand are belong to us.
Here's how I did it: 1) Disable secure boot 2) Change the boot order to boot from USB 3) Boot from USB stick 4) Erase disk and install Linux Mint Cinnamon.. Worked like a charm!!! I never have to log in to Microsoft again.
Glad we still have ways to bypass it. I am wondering tho, by not installing the network adapter at setup will it be installed after setup?
Nice, just what I was looking for. Ty.
Just about to watch this video at the time of writing this comment, but I must say I KNEW I'd be seeing this exact video from you very soon after learning that Microsoft have blocked all the other known methods in 24H2 now 😂 Fortunately the workaround I figured out and was originally using for 22H2 before I knew of any of the methods online still works for 24H2, but it's not the best method for ease. ANYWAY, time to watch this video and see what's new!
Do you use a more complex method? Could it be automated with AI agent and put on usb stick?
What I used to do was use the slmgr command at setup and change Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 Enterprise, since the Enterprise edition automatically allows local account creation at setup (even in 24H2) the same way that Pro did on 21H2. Then of course once I'd finished setup I changed my edition back to Pro, but it's not the best solution for Windows 11 Home users since reverting back to Home is complicated.
@@greenonline5469 Windows 11 Pro still allows local account creation if you are connected to the internet and you select the work or school option, then domain join
The NRO bypass is the way I have always done this. What gets me, is that certain updates bring up the lets make your computer better and you can't bypass it easily. I have to log out and log back in to get a way to bypass it.
I show how to disable that at the end of the video.
What worries me, is that they keep blocking every possible bypass known to the public and force everyone to use THEIR stuff instead of giving you freedom of choice.
Not having watched the video, I don't know what CyberCPU is referring to for his method, but what I typically do is disconnect from the internet before clicking 'continue'. Once it realizes it can't get to Microsoft servers, it finishes and then never comes back again, at least in my experience so far (I work at a computer store, so I see that message popping up all the time). I'm also pretty sure that under 'Sign in options' in Settings, you can disable: 'Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart', though I haven't tested this one fully.
@@Jito463 unfortunately that method doesn't work for Windows 11 anymore. However, you can still install Windows 11 with an older build and then just upgrade to the newest build without needing a Microsoft account.
The method I go over in this video you can use on the latest builds.
@@CyberCPU It's still been working for me, so far.
Thanks Rich! You are da man!!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Windows 11 is the biggest advocate for Linux lol. I ran for the hills to Linux once Windows 10 EOL was announced.. aint no point using it if its gona be EOL soon.
18 months away. No rush. Time to ponder. 10 is still good. My hardware isn't acceptable for 11. Don't need new hardware otherwise. NEVER before has Windows worked so well on 10yo hardware (assuming SSD and enough RAM). But Mint seems to be the flavour of choice at the moment.
@@ThePhilGrimm I ended up trying Bazzite while back due to the gaming performance and have since started building my own Images because for me the default Bazzite install was bloated with bunch of stuff I don't use lol.. most stable experience I have ever had
Windows 11 truly does suck. Everyone who said 23H2 was good and it was safe to upgrade was wrong. It's still a buggy frustrating mess and it's still full of stupid design decisions.
I still need Windows, so I'll go back to 10, and hope like hell that 12 doesn't suck ass.
@@mjc0961Have you even tried it.
@@mjc0961you dont need windows. Get rid of all tbose old programs you use.....
8:24 OMG the ipconfig release option is HILARIOUS 😆
haha.. OMG THANK You once again. for this.. I work at a small computer shop, we try and setup / update computers for clients who just want to trun on the computer and use it. not force them into a MS account unless THEY want one or already have one. so.. We get all updates done and ready to walk out the door for them. SO. THIS WORKS 100% today. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH.. CHEERS!!!
nice video, great job !
Thanks for the tips!
Myself, I gave up on MS completely. A local login that will work forever, and not just randomly break after an update, is non negotiable for me. It should be illegal for a corp to be able to remote brick my computer.
My desktop now boots Arch. Turns out I can play my crappy indie games just fine in Steam under Linux. The other program I won't be using is Ableton, but I'm thinking of learning Ardour instead.
By running Windows end users agree to the terms and conditions of the EULA. Which does include a clause where they can terminate the agreement at any time. I can't believe anyone would agree to the terms laid out. Unlike most Windows users I've actually read the EULA. They just blindly hit that I accept button and don't even bother. Not knowing what they've agreed to.
LOL! Windoze 11 is the new Windoze 8. It’s simply stunning to see how far enshitification has consumed the Windoze desktop. Sad.
why r u calling it windoze?
I just bought a pair of Windows XP laptops and brought all my old games and software back to life. Now that was a great system. I don't need to go online with those so it's all good. I have MS Office Professional as well, so they can piss off with their subscription BS.
W8-w11 sucks
That is so unfair to Windows 8, or at least Windows 8.1. I'd use 8.1, even though it's EOL, before I'd use 11.
Because 10 and 11 are sluggish
You guys are the best!!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT SHOW AND INFO. I PASS YOUR VIDEO ON TO MANY OTHERS !!
Is bitlocker mandatory now also. I really don't want that either.
Nice work thanks for the updated method.
I'm glad I've switched to Linux Mint. It's great. I did have to setup a windows machine about a month ago and used your first option. It worked fine
My process went a little different than what you had. When I tried to run ipconfig release, it didn't want to do turn off my connection (it never did). I was about to give in to the evil empire, but when I went back in, it let me create a local account. Dunno if it went to the 'work or school' option or the 'personal use' as I never got that screen to make a choice. Anyway, it's on a local account now, thanks for the video. IMHO, this should be illegal for M$ to try to make you have an account. I'd be ok with paying for an OS. I remember the days of DOS releases that cost around $100, much easier and cleaner. Those days are long gone. Thanks again!
Hi rich thank you for your great videos you bring us each week..
This is not a new way iv been doing this now for almost 6 months .
There is actually many ways around it .to stop those idiots at Microsoft making you add an account .
Windows 11 actually has many easy ways to bypass .
Thank you rich 😊.
just a suggestion:
All of your old videos, which no longer be applicable should be marked as [OUTDATED] in front of the video title.
This way, people will likely Hit and Watch your newest video sooner and the new videos will get more views faster
Thank you so much for making this video. Now I just need help in blocking MS from pushing their "mandatory" updates onto my Windows 10 machine.
Another awesome video. I'm currently on 23H2 in Pro with a local account. I have not received 24H upgrade yet. Will I have to do this all over again when I do or will I be able to keep my local account as is?
You can always upgrade with a local account.
@@CyberCPUThanks so much. I figured I could, but I wouldn't put it past MS to force us to switch. Keep up the great content!
Think of all the users, the "average" PC person, who will think they have no choice, and that it's just how it is now...
Thanks for reminding me to make sure I have a copy of Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and to make an ISO with it as a back up method. I have ZERO interest in Windows 11.
Two questions: What do you think about the Windows 11 Enterprise Edition, and will that version still run Steam for games? I agree we want a local account for Microsoft Windows 11, if we choose to upgrade, (I always do Pro version) but you still need to then be signed in for Office 365 programs and Xbox game pass, and Microsoft Defender, if you use that.
12:10 The problem is that afaik the official 24H2 will require a full install and not a feature update from a previous install.
Also some preview versions of the 24H2 installers will block Shift+F10 from showing cmd
There's a reason why I didn't update to windows 11.
Same here😆
The only reason I did on one computer is because it's an Asus mini PC and they only have drivers for windows 11
@@user-gk9lg5sp4yDid you check through MyASUS app or have any previous obtained drivers?
and here I'm enjoying it (best for developers out there)
@@user-gk9lg5sp4y I thought that with my Hp until I searched the hardware I’d and added win 7 or 10 on it and maybe some win 11 drivers work on win 10
I don't understand what difference it makes if you select set up for domain even if you plan on using the computer at home. If the system doesn't get a domain to join, or see a domain controller doesn't the system default to local policy anyway? I'm not being critical, I just don't understand your rational?
Sure, I totally agree. Just choose a domain and set up, it's that simple. Also, he advises against setting up with a domain. Why? What harm does it do? He didn't mention that!
This video felt like an elongated method for generating content to me.
You join a local domain named "workgroup" when no domain controller given
Great video. Thanks
Hey, you can add that bypass as a regkey or perhaps still using AutoUnattend is easier?
Instead of going through setup twice, use the bypass at the start
If you are doing a clean install of Windows, i would suggest using AutoUnattend
For setting up an OEM install, your only choice is to use the method in the video, as the setup won't check for AutoUnattend on USB drives
Do you have a video of why you don't want a Microsoft account?
Why would anyone want one?
if there isnt a valid reason to HAVE something, then a "purity" test on why you SHOULDNT have one is null.
A "Microsoft" account is an Outlook/Hotmail account so chances are people already have one as it is, but the point is that I wouldn't want a Windows OS to use my Outlook account.
It should just be a traditional OS, that's it!
Thank you, it worked! I didn't have to turn off the WiFi. I just set it to airplane mode and it worked.
Thanks a lot !
I fixed this by installing Linux. Seeing the ads in the start menu did it for me.
Ads in start menu is not new, it was in win10 too. Its also partly because people pirate windows
@@ahqsoftwares I've never seen it in 10. There was suggestions, but not straight up an ad for apps that don't even exist on my system like I got on 11. And the copy I had is actually genuine, not pirated.

At some point the user unfriendliness is going to make installing and learning Linux worth it. Keep it up Microsoft, you're almost there.
then linux will become the next "Windows". Power is like a seesaw you know
I was legitimately thinking earlier today, after running into a few issues I complain about with Linux, that if they're going to be like that too there's really no reason not to just go to Linux.
Good video. Funny I just bought a mini PC off Amazon and thought I would need these workarounds, but the version supplied by GMKtec didn’t need a microsoft account anyway!
It's been almost 3 years since I fully got my ass off of windows (which was in august 2021) and I'm very glad. I don't regret that decision in the slightest.
I still have a virtual machine having windows 10 to this day and age, mainly for programs that run like shit on wine. Sometimes they might not even work at all.
Linux here we come 🤓🇩🇰 and we are already there 😎
Dude you know you got a Microsoft account…xoxoxo
The purpose for an online account used to login to a PC is telemetry to create extensive personal profiles to sell to third parties.
@@peek5548 xoxoxo
Did you find that you had to have the internet connected for the initial installer to run, before you got to the setup section?
Would ipconfig /release before oobe\bypassnro not work without an additional reboot, just curious.
Isn't Windows an awful invasive OS! Great video, thanks. (Ubuntu user)
Windows 10 Home/Pro and 11 are even worse in that regard.
That's why I use 10 LTSC, it's as clean as possible. No Edge browser crap or M$ Store.
Linux sucks
Ubuntu might not be the best example as they have had their issues with data collection and trying to force things like snap.
@@sklynexdNaw its good
If you own a cell phone, that statement is completely pointless. You are on youtube right now, making it nearly pointless already. You can't block what programming languages are allowed to do. Your web browser is your most insecure thing on your computer. That's where all the companies are getting "telemetry" also, they all share between them.
PS. I'm using W10 on a laptop that Ill never update it's our main studio computer. At EOL we just going to unhook it from internet.
On my personal computer, like right now. I use Fedora (workstation) I like gnome, thought that plasma 6 is looking nice.
Switched to Linux six months ago and never looking back.
Yeah, you can ditch Windows but not Microsoft, that's the pity
@@ahqsoftwares actually u can give two middle fingers to microsoft and stil use windows. All we need is a search engine that doesnt sell data to microsoft, meta or google.
It worked thanks!
Thanks for providing this info. It's absolutely ridiculous that MS makes it necessary to do all this stuff. So glad I switched to Linux years ago. I do IT work for people so I have to stay up on the Windows world, but I never use it on my own computers.
Install Windows 10 OVER Windows 11.
Just stop using Windows.
*or watch a couple of videos and make windows your bitch.
Can the OOBE bypass command be done before picking country and keyboard layout?
Is 24h2 out now? Is that dev\beta channel? I didnt know about the ipconfig release work around. Good to know. thanks
netsh interface set interface "name of device" disable
Example of mine on a laptop
netsh interface set interface "Wi-Fi" disable
releasing your ip son't work anymore, it's set to just auto reconnect so if you connect to the internet before hand use those commands. I literally did it last night. I don't know what people are talking about. There will NEVER be a time you can't install an OS offline.
What that command does it list your device.
Then you choose it on the set and disable it.
When you get into windows, go to your network devices and just turn it back on :)
I still have the ISO for a (previous?) Win11 version (I think it's 23H2?) tailored to me done with NTLite - which I learned from this channel. Going to keep because it seems it's going to get handy in the future.
Thanks for the video, nice info to have, one small step against Microsoft's encroachment on privacy, but a step indeed, thanks for posting this info 😄
Thanks buddy, I'm so sick of the changes to 11. I get new PCs from customers here all the time, this was tripping me up and annoying me.
Pretty good video bro, tks
Thanks for the update... still mainly using Linux, but when I have to use Windows, this is the way I do it.
nice lil trick...thanx
Is it safe to assume that this method works for all the prior versions of W11 as well? Might as well know the one bypass to screw them all.
So what are you doing to deal with forced bitlocker and recall?
At the end when you say you can just download and install "the 22H2 iso", do you mean the .msi?
The work/school route is the same as the personal route it just doesnt do the domain join on OOBE. you have to join it after. The only difference is it removes the personalized telemetry and gives you the option "I will be domain joining" which allows you to make a local user account.
I do use Set up as work or school because that's the easy method of creating a local account. There's nothing about being forced to join a domain...
What I have done at times, is connect it to Wi-Fi and then block the device from the Wi-Fi router management software and it will then go through if you click back and next again.
It doesn't work with Windows 10 /11 Home though. I like the option with ipconfig where you release the I.P address. I wonder if it will work if you disable the network cards via CMD. Will try it sometime.
Now there’s a sponsor I’m actually interested in
Isnt there a way where you don't have to restart and do the whole thing again?
Can we type bypass at the beginning?
Always Great information (as always) Thanks Rich
thanks the excellent video.
Additionally, I have read over there that if you choose english international as your zone you can avoid all that garbage and bloatware Windows 11 bring with it. So besides what this video shows is it good to keep in mind that to start with a cleaner system. Hope it help.
Thanks so much👍 You’re a hero. I hate this company switching to Linux is the future.
Hate really isn't a good enough reason to get someone to run Linux. But it's not a half bad start. To truly be successful running Linux one has to actually find something about Linux that they genuinely like. Something they're willing to fight to hold onto. Because Linux will test your resolve at times.
I just go the Domain route when setting up the computer, and it seems to work just fine. Am I missing something??? Could you do a video on what might be difference when you go the domain route. When I am finished with the computer, the system is in a workgroup, not a domain, but w. a local account. Thanks
Appreciate you for this. Microsoft just won't give up. It's so annoying.
This worked on my new Win 11 laptop! Thx!!!
Thank you so much
What are the negatives to signing in with my MS account? I turn off all the tracking stuff I can and also uninstall bloat software. After that all they get from me is what games Im playing on Gamepass, Steam, and GOG. Benefits?
So what happens if there is no network adapter in the system for Windows 11 to install a hardware driver for?
Wait, can't you just oobe\bypassnro at the region select? Or do you really have to go though all those steps before bringing up the command prompt?
Also, it's been working on the machines we've set up with 23H2 so far but no telling yet on 24H2, but the thing one of my coworkers has been doing instead of \bypass and ipconfig/release is:
1. Connect to the Internet with an Ethernet adapter
2. Continuing on to where we would go no.thankyou(at)gmail put that in, then
3. Hit Next and immediately pull the Ethernet cable or adapter to kill the connection before it can submit.
