How To Use an OFFLINE Account With Windows 11: WORKS on 24H2

-----------------------------
Microsoft has removed the easiest way to use an offline account. This will be enough to force most users to just comply... and set up an always online Microsoft account. This is the future. They do not want you to be able to use a PC without a permanent tether to their cloud. They want to feed you ads and harvest your data. It's a bit bleak.

However, we can still use an offline mode using a couple different methods. Check out the video.

For the advanced method, here are the instructions:

Press Shift+F10 (some laptops require you to press Function(FN)+Shift+F10)
Then type this into the command prompt: oobe\bypassnro

Rufus has the option to remove online account when creating USB boot device

The very first method you tried isn't an option for Win11 Home, only Pro.

You're a champion don't stop. and keep doing whatever you want and whatever you're doing. good on you and the team still pushing back against stupid practices like forced online accs.

Whatever happened to Cain? never see him around the videos anymore.

p.s Last thing., I know The Tek is long gone.. but can you bring back rant30? Will accept it as shorts. Not a fan of shorts, still would watch them if you did it. though if you pulled a 30minute one atm it would probably make the algorithm happier too. idk maybe I've been subscribed for too long.

Cool, I copied and pasted a new trick today! I didn't know about the command prompt command before, but It's now been added to my cheat sheet. Cheers 🍻

I had never ran Linux more than a few days at a time before, but the laptop has now been on Zorin 17.1 for a month and everything just works. Granted I don't game on it anyway, but the out-of-the-box experience is sublime. No hoops to run though after installation and I haven't even had to fire up the terminal yet. If I ever install Windows on it again it sure won't be 11.

This is best for those who don't want a ms account or just straight up want a local account for the get go. Ah Windows 7.

I just signed in using my ms account and then switched to a local one on windows 11. I literally only created a ms account when I had to sign into Windows 8. MS essentially forced me into creating one. I moved my windows 8 laptop user account to a local one late last year after moving to a local one on windows 11

I think Microsoft is releasing 24H2 updates on a pilot basis because they want to see what keyholes they missed so that when the actual release date comes for the general public to get the update, they will have fixed the bugs.

Thank You for the video. I just got a Windows 7 labtop and the tips to make initial step easy was definitely helpful

[angheloiumarius]

From my experience: always install windows or Linux without internet connection.
After everything it's done, connect to internet & start updating.

Thanks for your vids, it always worked in the past but just got a new laptop today and there's not even an option to sign offline. That is nuts!

[livgamingmeow]

Do this install like 10 times a day. what’s worked for me is doing the trick once that no longer works then pressing the back arrow then redoing the process but instead of “user” and “password” I just use “a” for email and then for the password entry. Takes 10 seconds . Just gotta bug it out till it quits trying.

[chaserk]

Can you do a video on software that’s free, that will kill unnecessary background processes for windows 11 so you can get the processes down so that they aren’t using up unnecessary resources?

[thelowmein]

Won’t it just bug you again next time you boot up with internet connected?

[Lennox]

Screw Microsoft! Sick of having to keep signing in, im changing to Linux mint.

[Tsaukpaetra]

I could have sworn this was widely known for years now. Maybe it's Mandellia's effect again...

I just bought a new 2024 Lenovo 7i Gen 9 and it (of course) comes with Windows 11 installed. I'm thinking of removing the SSD that's in it and installing a different one with Windows 10. Keeping the original SSD intact just in case I need warranty work done. Any problems in doing that? I'm running 10 on my desktop and am perfectly happy with that. For those times that Windows drive me crazy, I can boot into Linux instead as I have it setup for dual boot.

For me, on my Win11 laptop, it would not allow me to just "not use internet." If I chose I did not have Wi-Fi, it told me I needed to use another device, with internet, in order to complete the install/setup. Absolutely bonkers. That was a year ago I think, and I just ended up having to go that route.

On the last Windows 11 machine I had with the latest Win11, the BypassNRO command was not there.
