Bypass 1: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

This bypass is the easiest option right now, as it requires just a few steps during setup to skip the Microsoft account creation.

Here is how it works:

1. Disable the Internet connection before starting setup, e.g., by disconnecting the LAN cable or disabling Wi-Fi.
2. Windows will display a “Let’s connect you to a network” or similar screen. The upcoming Windows 11 version 22H2 does not allow you to skip this anymore to create a local account.
3. On the screen, use Shift-F10 to open a command prompt window.
4. Type OOBE\BYPASSNRO and hit the Enter-key.
5. Windows will reboot and return to the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen. Only this time, you may select “I don’t have Internet” to skip this.
6. Then you select “Continue with limited setup” to then create a local account during setup
