Does it required a microsoft account now? Or can we still install it without connected to the internet

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah but I turn on airplane mode and it doesn't need an account anymore. Lpt for those of you out there.

Actually, better tip, use Linux.

[-] TheDarkBanana87@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

True, but i still need to keep a copy of windows for my average Joe friends. Not gonna preach the hard way thought, i want them to slowly convert to Linux hahaha.

Especially more and more games arw supported in Linux, either native or via proton

Me myself, already using Linux for the past 3 Years :D

That stopped working for home editions of windows. On pro you can say you are joining a local domain, but on home you have to use a workaround, such as the bypass command or a locked out account.

[-] TheDarkBanana87@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thats sad, soo the only way is either using the Pro Version, or the LTSC version?

[-] Gamey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think it's still technically possible with some workaround but they indeed kind of killed offline accounts with Windows 11

[-] stalfoss@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

It’s not hard at all, when making an account one of the options is to make it offline/local only. Sure it’s a small link below the big buttons but it’s there and not hidden.

I reinstalled Win11 last month and I think they removed that feature. now you have to Shift+F10 and type the bypass command in CMD.

[-] Navigate@partizle.com 3 points 1 year ago

It used to be that way, but last time I tried the only way is to disconnect from the internet otherwise it will force it.

[-] stalfoss@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I just made an offline account 3 days ago on a windows 11 machine so I dunno what to say man

[-] Gamey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's how it worked in Windows 10 and possibly early versions of 11 but as far as I know (not a Windiws user so take it with a grain of salt) that's no longer the case and they even patched some of the workaroundssoo you have to find a current one

[-] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, but you can create local account.

With the installing media running:

Shift+F10 (opens cmd) > OOBE\BYPASSNRO

• Continue until getting to creating account

◦◦ Account > 123@123.com/test@test.com/a@b.com/1@1.ru/fuckoff@microsoft.com/a@outlook.com/d@d.d/na@na.com

◦◦ Password > *enter any random password*

• […] > How would you like to set up this device > Set up for work or school

With an existing system:

• CMD > net user /add <username> *

E: Wording.

[-] eruchitanda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I heard that you can insert any invalid email address.

Nice info, gonna try it later. Thank you

Edit:

Is it working only for windows 10? Or can the same applied to win11?
