Excellent. Unfortunately I signed in to my Microsoft account while setting up Windows 11 on my new mini computer a few days ago. I wonder if there is a way to reverse that, and change it to a Local Account.

Hi Jason. This is the most crisp, clear, concise tutorial I have ever witnessed on YouTube. Followed the instructions on a Dell Windows 11 Laptop [did not need the FN key] and it went exactly as you instructed. A very good tip you included was when typing at the C: prompt they were all letters. Excellent, Thank you.

Hi! Leave everyone a comment below and let us know how this video helped you! UPDATE: I just used the SHIFT-FN-F10 trick yesterday (8/4/2023) on a new Dell Windows 11 laptop and it still worked great. <- Good to know Cheers -- Jason

Hi Jason! Great 1st option. My 'new' laptop has been sitting in it's box for a year and a half b/c I can't get by the sign in. I'll give the 1st option a try. Thanks Jason for all your help😊!

I made the mistake of not looking for this help before I signed into my internet. After the oobe\bypassnro command, it still had me use a Microsoft Account. I tried twice and it would not work. I tried the command a third time. This time I unplugged my internet. Then it skipped the screen Microsoft account screen! Thank you for this information. I do not need one more account!!

Thank you so much! You are truly a digital hero!!! Been spending hours trying to bypass stupid windows and I didn't know on laptop need to use FN as well. Thanks again!

[coachallred]

Thank you for stating the laptop/surface way to do it!! I have watched 5 videos and none of them state that.👊

This video really helped me bypass the forceful Microsoft login.
Thanks Jason❤

This saves me so much frustration! It was so clear ans easy to understand! Thank you!

[Luna-cfop]

Thanks a lot Jason everyone suggested that you press shift plus f10, which doesn't work on a laptop..

🎉🎉🎉THANKS SO MUCH!!! Best video ever i just got my laptop, I hate how they need u to log in so sneaky. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[kimber]

Brilliant! Exactly the solution I was looking for. Thanks so much!

[andrewJZT]

YES! This is exactly what I needed to know. My new laptop is currently installing updates before Windows finally appears, (I hope). Why oh why don't Microsoft give you a bypass option? I guess this "modern" setup routine is for the non-technical. I'm used to configuring a windows PC from starting with the installation disc!

[napnemeanix]

This worked for the ASUS laptop just Shift F10 😀 Thanks

[erickmero]

Thanks
Third time coming to check this video to bypass windows.
Works perfect.

you can also click the little person at the bottom right it opens up your window start menu and you can navigate to wifi and turn off wifi and it will boot you back to the start where you can do the out of box command prompt just thought i’d share that’s what i did because i connected to wifi
