Hello everyone,
To create a local account in Windows 11 v25H2 on an unsuppored hardware pc using bootable usb made by using media creation tool, I followed steps given below.
1. Create a bootable usb of Windows 11 v25H2 by media creation tool downloaded from Microsoft official website.
2. Make a batch file of following commands in notepad and save it as any name like Bypass.bat and save it in usb root drive.

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassRAMCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig" /v "BypassSecureBootCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHC" /v "UpgradeEligibility" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup" /v "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BitLocker" /v "PreventDeviceEncryption" /t REG_DWORD /d 1

3. Boot from usb and at the screen of error message "This pc can't run windows 11" press shift+F10.

4. To know usb drive letter(D: in my case, to be replaced by user)
x:\sources>diskpart
DISKPART>lis vol
DISKPART>exit
x:\sources>D:
D:\> Bypass.bat
After each entry processed, we get message 'The Operation completed successfully.'

5. Click back arrow symbol and proceed again. Installation starts and after reboot it comes to region and language
selection following keyboard layout choice.

6. Installation continues to connect to network. Here press Shift+F10 and we get C:\windows\system32

7. Here are two ways to create local account. One is typing command and other is registry change.

a. C:\windows\system32>reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

C:\windows\system32>shutdown /r /t 0

b. C:\windows\system32>regedit
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE. Click on OOBE and then right click in right pane to create New>DWORD(32-bit)Value. Type BypassNRO and set value to 1. Exit regedit.

8. C:\windows\system32>shutdown /r /t 0
9. After reboot again select region, language, keyboard and then click on I don't have internet.
10. Now proceed for local account creation with or without entering password as you wish.
11. This way I created Local account of Windows 11 v25H2 OS Build 26200.6899
(Please note that this usb does not work for in place upgradation when run in live os on an unsuppored hardware pc).
Thanks for viewing this thread and sharing your valueable time.

You can perform all these steps from an unattended file, which the user copies to their USB device after MCT has created it.

@hsehestedt has posted a few of them.

Update,
Hello everyone
To use bootable usb prepared in post#1 for in place upgrade:-
  1. Open File Explorer and navigate to usb location.Suppose it is D:
  2. Open the sources folder inside the root of that drive/folder
  3. Click in the address bar of the File Explorer window you just opened (the one showing the contents of the sources folder).
  4. Type cmd and press Enter. This will open the Command Prompt directly inside the sources directory, which is necessary for the next step.In the Command Prompt window, type the following command exactly as show D:\sources>setupprep.exe /product server Press Enter.
The Windows 11 Setup application should immediately launch.
Crucially, it should skip the hardware compatibility check screen entirely.
Follow the on-screen prompts to proceed with the in-place upgrade. You will choose to keep your files and apps (this is the in-place upgrade option).
The upgrade process will continue normally from here, perform the necessary reboots, and install Windows 11 v25H2 onto unsupported pc.
Thanks again.
