Microsoft has made it increasingly difficult to install Windows 11 without an active internet connection. During a standard setup, Windows 11 Home (and Pro, under certain conditions) demands a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to download updates and force you to sign in with a Microsoft account.

This is by design. Microsoft wants you online. But there are two reliable ways to bypass this. This method works for both Windows 11 Home and Pro (22H2, 23H2, and 24H2).

On the next screen, click "Continue with limited setup" . windows 11 install without internet

Fortunately, Microsoft left a backdoor in the setup process. Here is exactly how to install Windows 11 completely offline. If you disconnect your Ethernet cable or refuse to connect to Wi-Fi during setup, Windows 11 will eventually show a screen saying: "Let’s connect you to a network." There is no visible "Skip" or "I don’t have internet" button.

But what if your driver isn’t working? What if you value local privacy? Or what if you simply don’t have stable internet at the moment? Microsoft has made it increasingly difficult to install

After the reboot, you will go through the setup screens again. This time, when you reach the "Let’s connect you to a network" screen, you will see a new button at the bottom: "I don’t have internet" .

Click it.
