Forget BYPASSNRO, a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists
www.neowin.net
While Microsoft is bloacking the popular BYPASSNRO method of bypassing the internet and MSA requirements, a new way to do so had already existed but flew under the radar.

This might be relevant to those who wish / have to use Windows 11:

This week, Microsoft made it very clear that it wants to block the popular BYPASSNRO workaround, used to skip the internet and Microsoft Account requirement checks during the Windows 11 installation OOBE (initial setup), although thankfully, the script can still be created using Registry edits.

A 7 step guide.

      I use linux for everything except for one critical app that does not yet work on linux outside of a virtual machine. But, my computer is not powerful enough to run it in a virtual machine.

      There are also no alternatives to it either. So, I have a second computer to use windows for just that, but the day it works on linux is the day I say bye to windows forever.

            In my case it’s actually secret, I don’t want to dox myself. Though any of my friends reading this comment will probably realize who I am based on this and like any 1-2 comments from my past saying things about myself lol

          That’s a pain, I just use the second computer for the one app as I need to be at my desk to use it anyway. My laptop is Linux as I do everything else on it.
