salpizr8ge Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Hi Neowin, I have read your post.https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-11-home-requires-internet-to-complete-setup-but-there039s-a-workaround There it is explained that you can do the Windows 11 Home Setup locally, just Alt + F4 click when the Wi-Fi page appears in Windows 11 Home Setup. And exactly this method doesn't work anymore, I tested the latest Windows 11 Home 10.0.22000.160 version from August 19, 2021. Alt + F4 has no effect nothing happens, I get stuck Windows 11 Setup. There is no way to complete Windows 11 Home Setup offline. Tested: Windows 11 Home 10.0.22000.160 version from August 19, 2021 1) Windows 11 Home - Page 1 Is this the right country or region -> click Yes 2) Windows 11 Home - Page 2 Is this the right keyboard layout or input method? -> click Yes 3) Windows 11 Home - Page 3 Want to add a second keyboard layout? -> click Skip 4) Windows 11 Home - Page 4 Let's connect you to a network -> Alt + F4 5) It does not go on for step 5 because I always get stuck at step 4. Windows 11 Home setup cannot be completed offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, turns out it was not as specials as I thought it was. apparently you can do a shift+F10 and get an elevated command prompt during the OOBE setup on windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just installed Windows 11 on a garbage HP stream laptop. It got to the Wi-Fi section, so connected to Wi-Fi, hit next, and then I enabled airplane mode and hit the back button. Then it prompted me for a local account. I entered my name. I clicked next... Windows 11 was not amused and got angry with me and gracefully restarted. Once it rebooted it took me straight to the Microsoft account sign-in page, it also re-enabled Wifi, and now I couldn't use the hotkey to turn airplane mode back on. Then I did a Shift + F10 to get an elevated command prompt. From there I just did an ipconfig /release and while the IP was released I just hit the back button. ...BOOM! Local account.

I find it really tragic that you have to either get Pro, or go to this level of trickery to simply avoid signing in with a Microsoft Account, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted February 9, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hello, I tried performing a clean install of Windows 11 Home on a laptop and did not connect to Wi-FI, and unplugged the Ethernet cable after I was prompted to set up a Microsoft account. I was then able to create a local account without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
