Honestly I have no idea how they keep getting away with adding more and more hurdles for local account creation. Literally no other OS for mobile or PC has this.

I’ve seen anything from devices with a local account automatically enabling bitlocker with no way of recovering if bitlocker trips to devices with an MS account tripping bitlocker only to find out the recovery keys are not saved to the MS account, absolutely bonkers.

Yeah check which version of windows it installs, it’ll be 22H2 or 24H2.

BypassNRO was removed from system files in 25H2 last year, unless you happened to be served an old ISO this won’t work anymore.

This is what I’ve been using since:

• Complete the initial Windows 11 install and restart your PC.
• When you reach the Secondary Keyboard Layout screen (before the Microsoft Account sign-up stage), press Shift + F10
• In the console, type the command: start ms-cxh:localonly
• Hit Enter, then press Escape to close the console.

You can also use Rufus to make a setup drive which preconfigures the local account. This method and others are described in this article.

PS: It still works if you copy the BypassNRO.cmd file from an old system to a new one when you’re in OOBE mode (Ctrl+Shift+F3) during setup. It’s just a powershell command that sets a registery key and reboots.

Listening to average person explain AI feels very similar to idiocracy explaining electrolytes

AC goes brrrrrr

It’s not like Outlook is their main way of communicating with mission control. If the tablet actually craps the bed, they’ll just use another computer. They’re nothing if not redundant. Calling a personal tablet mission critical is a false equivalence

Just let people have their hyper specific tools

Stop deluding yourself what you’re doing is decent, it’s a malicious attempt to discredit artists original work. Asking someone to join your little crusade is a slap in their face, no matter how politely you ask.
