Have done this many times over the past couple years.......I always set up computers with local account......
If I cannot get oobe to work.....is there a workaround to setting up a local account without a Microsoft account..???
NOTE: Win 11 is NOT yet installed.....just at the screen to get you on the internet.......

I believe Microsoft removed the cmd file. I think you can just add the reg still and reboot for the same effect

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Click to expand...
BypassNRO doesn't get removed until 25H2 (or if you're on a newer Dev/Insider build).

The file is actually "\Windows\System32\OOBE\BypassNRO.cmd".
The reg command also works, but looking for the batch file is easier to remember.

It's in all Windows editions, look at a mounted Home image from the ISO.

Best thing to do is create yourself Windows bootable USB using RUFUS utility to bypass Microsoft Account requirement if you don't want to do that then use start ms-cxh:localonly command which can help bypass Microsoft Account requirement.


In this video, i will guide you on how to use a new Windows 11 trick that lets you bypass Microsoft Account requirement.
