The more funny part of this statement is he’s too fucking dumb to Google “set up windows 11 without Microsoft account” and follow exactly 3 steps to bypass the OOBE wizard.
To be fair, the option is pretty easy to miss for someone who isn’t technical. Font size -11000 and grwy or whatever, though I might exaggerate.
They break whatever process people use whenever they feel like it.
Whether the loopholes are incompetence or just for the sake of them being able to claim “you don’t need an account”, they definitely aren’t stable and consistent options. And it’s pretty clear that at some point they’re going to cross the line and just make you have an account.
What? Ctrl+F10 for Command Prompt and then
oobe\bypassnro
has always worked, and I don’t see Microsoft removing it anytime soon. Who do you think put thebypassnro.bat
script in theOOBE
directory on every Windows installation media?
Peak journalism
This shithead posts the stupidest shit and people make it viral.
I understand how people are fucked up about that
Cool yeah, no one wants to have to log in with a Twitter account either.
Wow so bold!
Buy Microsoft you fucking coward
The entire global economy is held together by Excel. No thank you
You mean Xcel?
We still have COBOL and AS400. We’ll be fine!
Can’t Libre Office take the place of MSO?
I’d be happy. But too late to make Windows 10’s name Windows X, so it probably won’t happen.
He can rename it Windows X11 and piss off everyone
Lmao
I’m going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.
You don’t even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.
You can get around it by disconnecting the Internet during setup
Used to work, not now.
SHIFT+F10
cd OOBE
bypassnro
Reboot.
I had to figure out the command to bring up the command console to not log in with a Microsoft account. It was super dumb. I had to turn something off in the system as a workaround, which meant a bunch of googling.
There is zero reason for me to have a Microsoft account associated with my computer just to use it.
No. Its pretty easy to work around. He just went right to twit to be a special baby boy.

Oh shit now Elon is going to try to buy all of Linux.
You could just put in a made up email and pass. I personally go with 123@fake.com
I also hate having to login every 10 minutes to another windows password shit because hey it’s secure!
A great point? It’s not even true.
He’s an idiot. You don’t have to sign in to windows 11 to set it up, I literally do this daily. Not to mention corporate computers shouldn’t be seeing the personal computer sign in screen to begin with unless it’s in the hands of IT like me who would know what to do with it.
There used to be a skip button until about a month ago. Now, you just have to input bad creds and move forward.
Unlike Twitter, which actually locks down most of its site without an account…
Idiot just doesn’t like getting called out for his idiocy and hypocrisy.
Oh, there’s no way Elon wants a machine with a company image on it.
He probably bought a Win11 S-mode laptop, not knowing what that was.
Enough fucking Musk spam, we already know this. We didn’t need some rich jackass to validate this.
I for one get all my opinions from Elon Musk. Saves time and energy trying to come up with my own!
