Don’t connect to the internet.

Open a cmd window with F10 (maybe it’s shift-F10?) and type the following:

OOBE\\BYPASSNRO

You can thank me later.

I thought we couldn’t use Linux because people don’t want to use a command prompt.

Funny thing is, I find myself forced to use the command prompt more in Windows than I do the terminal in Linux. And don’t get me started on the absolute nightmare that the windows registry is.

Guck you. I’ll thank you NOW.

I know some folks on the SysAdmin discord mentioned it wasn’t working for them anymore. It also stopped working for me about 2 months ago. (I work in IT and set to up new computers fairly often)

But looking online real quick, several sources including Tom’s Hardware claim it still works. So I’m not sure what’s going on with it. Maybe your milage may vary?

I definitely used it 2 months ago, maybe it changed since then, or maybe it depends on something.

I used it to set up a company laptop less than a month ago.
