I found another way to bypass Windows 11 account sign-up on a new computer. When it first starts up, hold the 'Shift' key and touch 'F10" to pop up a dos window. Type in 'cd OOBE', the type 'bypassNRO.cmd'. It will reboot and then give the opportunity to click the 'I do not have the internet'. Then you can create a local account instead of a Micro$oft account.

When you setup a new Windows 11 computer you can opt out of signing into a Microsoft account and opt in for a local account instead.
When first starting the computer make sure the network cable is not plugged in and don't connect to your WIFI yet.
It will prompt you for a Microsoft sign in.
At that point just hold down Shift key and punch the F10 key to bring up a Dos window.
Type in "oobe\bypassnro" without the quotes.
The computer will restart and then give you the opportunity to create a local account without Microsoft lurking in your computer. If that doesn't work then log into your WIFI network, log into Micro$oft with the email [email protected] and random password. You should be given the option to set up a local account.

And be sure to run 'ALL' the updates...

FYI,
Recently I failed at the above approach using a newly downloaded Windows 11 install, however, if you download the ISO image and then run a program called Rufus it will burn the ISO to a USB. it will allow you to select the install to not connect to the internet and set the user to a local account. Thought you might like to know...

I started these letters completely inadvertently on September 15, 2019, after I happened to see House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff's (D-CA) angry letter to then–acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire on September 13, noting that the committee knew a whistleblower had m...

I'm going to share my opinion about the emerging Windows 11. I will wait to upgrade my computer until a good 6 month has passed after the October release to the public. If you do the upgrade you have only 10 days to revert back to the previous operating system.

Let me know if you have questions and I'll post more information as I receive it.
