How to Bypass internet requirement during Windows 11 Setup

Windows 11 requires an active internet connection to download crucial updates and create an account during the installation process. However, the installation will stall at the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen if you lack an internet connection.
Fortunately, you can employ a few workarounds to bypass this network setup screen and proceed with your Windows 11 installation.


Step 1: During Windows 11 installation, On the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen, you’ll see the names of available connections. However, if you can’t connect to any of them, whether it’s Wi-Fi or your wired connection,
there’s probably a problem with the connection itself.



Step 2: When you encounter the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen, you can execute the “OOBE\BYPASSNRO” command in Command Prompt to bypass the connectivity requirement during the Windows 11 installation process.
To achieve this, press Shift+F10 to launch Command Prompt while on the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen.
In the Command Prompt window, type OOBE\BYPASSNRO and press Enter.


Step 3: Computer will then restart, prompting you to select your region and keyboard layout once more.
Afterward, you will arrive at the network setup screen. However, this time, you will have the “I don’t have internet” option available,
which you can click to proceed with the Windows 11 installation process without an internet connection.
One important thing to note here is that you’ll end up creating a local user account instead of a Microsoft account when you try to install Windows 11 without an internet connection. However, you can always switch to a Microsoft account later.
