Re: How to install Windows 11 without internet or network on a PC?
AndreiV31 really solved it!
In the installation phase
just press
Shift+F10
or like in my case
Shift+Fn+F10
to open Command Prompt and type
OOBE\BYPASSNRO
where the two OO:s are letters, not number zeros. Then, press
Enter
and the installer will restart allowing you to install with the option "Continue with limited setup" ie. without internet.
I was installing Windows 11 to https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager in order to use Windows applications in Linux via https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps and the installation procedure with https://nowsci.com/winapps/kvm/ required an installation without internet connection.

Your writing 'Shift+Fn+F10' saved me, thanks! I kept tapping Shift+F10 on my Latitude keyboard, and nothing was happening. I have to get used to using that Fn key.
This works, was just having the same problem, found this thread in a Google search, and the one command prompt command fixes it.
Thanks for this. Still works on 25H2!
