Windows 11 requires you to sign in with a Microsoft account to complete setting up a new PC. However, if you don't have an active Internet connection or want to use a local user account, you can follow these methods to set up Windows 11.
1. Skip the Internet Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) request
You can bypass the Let's connect you to a network screen by using the OOBE \BYPASSNRO command in Command Prompt.

1. Boot your computer using the Windows installation media. Skip Step 6 below if you're already on the Let's connect you to a network screen .
2. When the Windows Setup dialog box appears, select your preferred language, time, and keyboard input layout, and then click Next . Then, click Install Now .
3. Enter your product key to activate Windows 11. If you don't have a product key, click the I don't have a product key link in the lower-right corner. If you're upgrading from Windows 10 or an earlier version of Windows 11, the operating system will automatically recognize and validate the Windows product key associated with your computer's hardware.
4. Next, if prompted, select the edition of Windows 11 you want to install. Check the box to accept the terms and click Next . Then, select Custom: Install Windows Only (Advanced) .
5. Select the installation drive and click Next . Wait for Windows to finish installing and restart your computer. In the setup screen, select your region and keyboard layout.

Also, make sure to add security questions. This will help you recover your local user account in case you forget your password. Once done, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
2. End the Network Connection Flow process using Task Manager
You can bypass the "Let's connect you to a network" screen by ending the oobenetworkconnectionflow.exe process. Since Windows 11 is already installed at this stage, you can launch Task Manager at the top of your setup wizard using Command Prompt and end the process.

1. Assuming you are on the Let's connect you to a network screen , press Shift + F10 to launch Command Prompt.
2. In the Command Prompt window, type taskmgr and press Enter to launch Task Manager . Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to launch it.
