Bypass Microsoft Account Sign-in and Setup Windows 11 without Internet #Local #Windows11 #Account

Are you setting up Windows 11 for the first time? Do you want to skip the Microsoft Account login or Microsoft Account Creation section of the Windows 11 Setup? Would you prefer to have a local account instead of a Microsoft Account set up on your Windows 11? Do you need to finish the Windows 11 Setup and you do not have access to Internet?

If you you said yes to any of those and you would like to see how to create a local account instead of a Microsoft Account for your Windows 11 machine, then I will show you how. We will walk through ever step of the process, so that you can see what to do in order to get Windows 11 working without problems and without a Microsoft Account.

Having a Microsoft Account connected to your Windows 11 does allow your information to be backed up via the OneDrive service, resetting your password via the web, and integration features. However, some users may prefer to have a local account that does not have all their information stored in the cloud or potentially opening their machine up to be compromised. Either way, you can bypass the Microsoft Account setup in Windows 11 or continue to set it up, so that the Windows 11 will work best for you.

If any of you happen to be computer techs, this will allow you to continue setting up the computer for somebody that may not be available. Maybe you do not have their Microsoft Account information easily available or you are not able to connect the computer to the Internet at the moment. By the steps outlined in this video, you will be able to get your Windows 11 up and running for anybody who needs it.

Holy moly. I had wasted roughly half an hour to find a way to bypass the stupid ms account until I found your video. Thank you!

[nickoblicko]

Just had the update drop on a laptop I want to sell and could not escape the sign-in screen. I ALT-CTRL-DEL, sign out, back in, skips that screen and immediately follow "above" instructions (From command prompt point -running as admin). Restarted its self, finished updates, straight to desktop with 0 issues.
10 points for this guy in the tech tip world!

Some Laptops dont work unless you hold FN first then press down SHIFT+F10. Also, If you have already entered wifi info it will save, so you will have to enter ipconfig /release into cmd prompt.

[Abc-ftqf]

Thank you so much . I had trouble doing this because I had already signed into my Wi-Fi but I Unplug the modem and was able to do everything as explained in the video

[aaronsoileau]

I was already connected to wifi. Shift+F10 worked and I rebooted but it wasn't allowing me to bypass the sign-in screen. I had to turn off the router for it to make that option available. You're my hero! F MS!!! xD

[courtneyanderson]

This video was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't find my notes from a few years ago when I got a new computer. Thank you!!

Yeah, because I’d gone past the network (joined Wi-Fi) it put me right back at the Microsoft login. Found another video where the guy had us type ncpa.cpl at the command prompt and disable the network adapter and then do the command to bypass

[mahtoose]

I couldnt get this to work because I had my ethernet plugged in. Unplugged that and it worked great! Thank you.

[ApeyGaming]

You, sir, are living proof that not all heroes wear capes!

[Mineboinamedzack]

This was a very helpful video, thank you!

[UnStupified]

I was trying the command and wasn't until I watched this and heard you say BACKslash I realized I was typing the wrong cmd in, lol. Thank you sir!

[robbinbanks]

Thank you so much. This is the way the setup should be. I shouldn't be forced to create an account if I don't want to. Only addition, I also had to press the Fn key as well.

[jimmyolsen]

Thanks man! 👍
It worked beautifully and even a pumpkin like me could follow the procedure.
I also had to press FN first and then press down SHIFT+F10 to bring up the prompt. And finding the backslash was a little tricky, it was on the § or 1 key. But other than that it was peachy. My hero!

Hi and thank you for great and very helpful videos, you show and explain steps in an easy way to understand on how to and why you are doing it, as I say! sometimes, A single Word is worth a Thousand images! Thanks again, keep up the great video's on Windows 11

[ihsangin]

Thank you! Bypassnro and releasing the ipconfig worked a charm.

[jeffmclaud]

After setup is complete, can you connect to your microsoft account and keep your local account? that way you use your local login for the computer and local network?

[brandonlee]

They patched this out and it doesn’t work on some models

Hi, many thanks and cheers from Brisbane Australia.

Hello thank you very much for this video.
I just bought a HP computer from Walmart it's one of the cheapest ones but it's right out of the box today. I haven't used a nonapple product in over 10 years. So I'm unfamiliar with this.
I had already connected to the internet so I turned off the power to my modem/router and it brought me back to the "let's get you connected to a network" screen. I tried all of the different combinations you said, I looked through even single one of your comments and none of them worked to restart/reboot Microsoft 11.
So then I tried the shift+f10 and fn+shift+f10 and neither of those worked to bring up the command prompt in order to even attempt the command.
So none of these codes are working for me. Just wondering if you have anything else possible for me and other people who these aren't working for to try.
Again thank you very much for your time and effort in all that you do!
