Basically when I go to setup, it takes me to where pick a country, pick the keyboard layout, then it's "Let's Connect You To A Network" and it sees all the local wireless options from my neighbors and myself. At that point, I try to hit Shift + F10 and the command prompt doesn't come up.

Unless I'm hitting the keys wrong, is there anyway to bring up that command prompt?

EDIT: Never mind. I had to re-boot twice and then was able to bring it up the third time. Typed the OOBE\BYPASSNRO commands into the command prompt and was able to get past the wireless key requirements. I don't know what happened but it worked this third time. I will still have to reinstall Office at some point and from there it's going to demand an email account to register that. So either way, they're gonna get ya, anyway.

Only of academic interest now, but it is possible that the command prompt did come up, but was hidden behind the OOBE screen asking to connect to a network (perhaps an inadvertent tap on the OOBE screen had brought it to the front). If so, then Alt+Tab should have brought the command prompt to the front.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

You are pressing correct keys why Command Prompt will not open i have no clue.

See above. I also had the Fn key enabled when I rebooted the third time. I think that's what was also happening.

Even if you unplug the ethernet cable, the wireless network adapter is still active (even after you've reset the machine) and will try to connect to one of those if you have the wireless key. How convenient. You can't get away from it. MS is determined to get your email tracker and information.

I will mark this as solved.
