This will force me to reinstall Windows. If that happens, I can still run the bypassnro command before connecting to the internet like a beginner. My system is already installed, and I’d like to proceed now. Perhaps setting up a local account in audit mode and skipping the OOBE entirely?

Using local users and groups to set up an account is the simpler method. Or, if you prefer, I can create it via Cmd or PowerShell quickly. It could even be installed on a USB drive—double-click and it’s ready!

10-21-2021, 09:22 AM #9I needed to reinstall Rufus on Windows 11 just to get a local account for uninstalling OneDrive. By default, the system places everything in OneDrive, even in my User folder where Documents, Music, and Pictures are just links to OneDrive. If I removed OneDrive, those links wouldn’t disappear instantly. So I saved my files, chose the documents, but it couldn’t find the folder because it was a OneDrive link. That’s frustrating. So I switched to a local account, uninstalled OneDrive, and then linked my Microsoft account. Extremely annoying.
