Does the command oobe\bypassnro still work on the latest Windows 11 Home edition?
I just downloaded/created setup media directly from Microsoft last week. I don't have a spare/unused HDD to test (setup Windows 11 Home). That's why I'm asking you all who have setup the latest 11 Home with local accounts only.
There are rumors it bypassnro doesn't work on Home edition latest version. Is it true?

Yeah I heard about that too earlier this year. Don't know if they've enforced it on the latest build. Removing the file bypassnro.cmd is one thing. It's just a text file that contains 2 lines of command, adding registry entry and restarting the PC. If they remove the CMD file but still supports the registry entry, I can still manually type the commands. I guess I'm about to find out. Unfortunately my new PC comes with Home edition. I'll find a way to get a Pro license legally.

Hi
Yes, and if you use Tiny11 and then Rufus, you can achieve a "LITE" install with no MS account or bloat and no compulsory BitLocker.
Tiny11 seems a bit of a faff,but well worth the effort, IMhO;~)
Kind Regards
