"Microsoft changed the behaviour in Windows 11 22H2, and made it so that, even if you didn't have a network connection when being prompted for account creation, you would not get the "I don't have internet" button and therefore could not create an offline account." - https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues/2346#issuecomment-1782477063

Both Rufus (prepared USB flash drive), and Ventoy (ISO tool) are used to circumvent this:

  • Rufus modifies the registry and then writes it to a USB flash drive. See https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/blob/965d82c425f109dd2a7276487f007ae522eeb36d/src/wue.c#L125
  • Ventoy extracts the Windows ISO installer, and then runs a regedit command before or under the Windows installation. See https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aventoy%2FVentoy%20BYPASSNRO&type=code

Can you please add simple steps to your guide, how to achieve this, so people without internet can install Windows 11 22H2?
