- hnuser123456 4y agoIf you know what the UI looked like while you accomplished this, that would be useful. I've had to reach back behind the machine, unplug the ethernet, and reboot to get it to realize I'm just trying to setup a spare machine for visitors.
- xen2xen1 4y agoIf you tell it it's going to connect to a domain, it will let you make a local account. This, of course, requires Pro or better.
- temac 4y agoOn "old" versions you could - or at least you could not connect and it would allow to create a local account in this case. On the last one MS says you can't OOBE without the Internet, even with Pro, and at a first glance it seems you actually can't, but then you just press shift+F10, type oobe\bypassnro, and then it reboots and you actually can again. I'm not sure why they consider that it makes any sense. Probably just a motherfucker higher-up who really like dark patterns and annoying their customers^W advertising targets, so MS can resell more private informations and they get a big bonus.
