Skipping Network Setup Steps on OOBE Page for Pre-installed Windows 11 22H2

Overview:
Mini PCs manufactured in 2022 come pre-installed with the latest version of Windows 11 22H2. However, with Windows 11 installed, new PCs require internet connection during the initial setup wizard or after system reinstallation to smoothly enter the desktop. Before the 22H2 version of Windows 11, skipping network setup was possible. Since 22H2, skipping network setup is no longer feasible. This guide introduces a method applicable to Windows 11 22H2 for bypassing network setup and logging into Microsoft account.

Solution Steps:

  1. In the setup wizard of the latest Windows 11 22H2 version on a new PC, skipping network setup is no longer possible. Initially, refrain from connecting to the internet (do not plug in Ethernet cable, do not connect to Wi-Fi). When the screen appears as shown above (1-1), press the Shift + F10 keys on the keyboard to open the command prompt (for keyboards with an Fn key, press Fn + Shift + F10). Image description
  2. In the command prompt, type "OOBE\BYPASSNRO" and press Enter. The computer will automatically restart. After the restart, an option "I don't have internet" will appear. Click on this option to skip network setup and enter the system desktop.
