Last time I activated a Windows 11 system, I had already entered my Wifi credentials, and then couldn't find any way out of the online account trap. Eventually backed out far enough, deleted my wifi credentials again, forward again and created a local account. Have they closed that loophole too, i.e you can't activate it at all without cloud connectivity?
Another question, once you've activated it with an online account, is it possile to then create another local user and simply use that?
- mapcars 2y agoI think its enough to disconnect your wifi/router and installer will give you an option to proceed without internet.
- Spivak 2y agoUnless something changed really recently that loophole has been fixed for a minute. I had to use the bypassnro because being off wi-fi wasn't enough.
- gambiting 2y agoThat's been closed for a while now. Now(and even before this most recent update) even if you don't have any network devices present on your machine at all it still doesn't show any option to create an offline account - you just can't do it until you find a way to connect to the internet. >> is it possile to then create another local user and simply use that? Yes, that is absolutely an option. Just remember that by default your hard drive is encrypted with bitlocker and Windows sends the encryption key to microsoft to that account you signed in with without asking you first.
