Try This First-The "Sign-in options" Trick. This is the new primary method that often works when oobe\bypassnro not working. It exploits the fact that Microsoft still provides an offline path for "domain join" scenarios.

- This will immediately take you to the classic local account creation screen.
- Enter your desired local username and password (you can leave the password fields blank if you wish), and continue with the setup.
