Question: How do we install Windows 11, or do the initial configuration of Windows 11 and Windows 10, without using internet access? Does Windows 11 installation require internet access? How do I bypass the option to connect to wifi when installing Windows 11?
Answer: You can skip the option to connect to the Internet during the installation or initial setup of Windows 11. Here's how:
- During any session that requires an Internet connection, immediately press the Shift+F10 buttons (on some laptops you may need to press Shift+Fn+F10). Typically, this session will display a warning saying "Connection required", "Internet connection lost", or "Let's connect to a network."
- When the Command Prompt window appears, type OOBE\BYPASSNRO and then press Enter.
- The Windows installation process will start over again.
- Continue the installation process until you are returned to the session requesting a connection to access the Internet. Then select "I don't have internet access" option.
- From here, you can continue until the Windows 11 installation process is complete.
