- tagyro 4y ago"hack" or "workaround", in this context, have the same meaning. So the comment is correct: you can't install (specific versions of) Windows without internet.
- Scharkenberg 4y agoIt's a built-in and supported workaround, just intentionally hidden (because Microsoft wants the average Joe / the masses to use an online account). That's not something that a random person came up with, even if it's not advertised.
- shoo_pl 4y agoWhile this is a workaround, I would not call it "straightforward" because there is no world where I can explain this to my family members :) Straightforward would be a small text-based link at the bottom saying "skip this step"...
- ant6n 4y agoStraightforward would be a big button saying „skip this step“.
- Scharkenberg 4y agoIMO, that's the difference between straightforward and obvious. It's not obvious because Microsoft doesn't want it to be obvious. But one can totally tell a family member "press these keys, then type this command and press Enter" - non-technically inclined people couldn't care less about further explanation, only about the end goal. I've done more complicated troubleshooting over the phone...
- LeoPanthera 4y agoThat would be the hack I mentioned, yes. "Normal" users would never do this.
