Help Any computer people here who know how to fix this?

[Disappointered]

I want to setup a new laptop that uses windows 11 without having to be online and from there, without having to create a microsoft account. It seems to be an option if using the right combination of Shift, fn, f10, or alt+4, whereby people get to command prompt and follow the steps from there. However, I tried the different combinations but the screen telling me to connect to a network doesn't go away. There is just a little circle but it doesn't go to command prompt.

Did you try only shift + f10 and not shift + fn + f10 ?

Yes, it didn't work.

In developing nations (like India for example) , lot of folks use the pirated version .
Although pirated copy can be untrustworthy if not gotten from the right source .

If you have another keyboard, try plugging a different keyboard into your laptop. I have seen a guy fix it with this method.

I don't want to take chances like that. Also, this laptop already has windows 11 worked into the circuits or something (it's okay to laugh...I know nothing about computers) and the easiest means of moving forward with some measure of privacy would be to go through the steps routinely advised, starting with command prompt. But it won't even get that far.

Hello,

Yes, it didn't work.

I found this info on the internet:

Microsoft blocks all options to bypass MS Account on new Installs

Hi all, newbie here (have been sitting on the sidelines watching and learning for some time tho!) please excuse my error if this appears in the wrong thread. I have been attempting to install version 22631.2506 via ISO install to my notebook. Previous attempts to by pass the MS Account...

Do you see "I don't have internet" option? If so, press it, and then hit Shift + F10 (or Shift + Fn + F10.)

You might have tried this before, but hope it helps.

Edit: please unplug Ethernet cable if you have one. If you have internet connection Microsoft tries to force you to use/create a Microsoft account.

windows key
use search function
type in: cmd or command prompt
it should appear
(right click and select more if you need to run it as an administrator)
(also you can pin it to start for future use so then it can be easy to find and access if needed in the future)
