Hello
I am trying to install Windows 11 on M1 Mac and I am stuck at the screen where I connection to internet is required to proceed. I remember there is a an option to skip connection and continue with limited features or some similar phrase. The issue here is that I can not find this option, I try to navigate through running windows using alt+Tab, Narrator announces Network Connection Flow Window only. I am sure there is a separate window where I can skip the connection for the time being still I am unable to access it. Any idea?

When you boot into the OOBE screen where you configure the region, network, etc, press shift and F10 to open the command line and type the following command exactly as shown.

oobe\bypassnro

This will cause Windows to restart, and then you must go through the setup process again. This time, select I don't have Internet then limited experience. This will let you create a local account and bypass the sign-in requirement. Once Windows is installed, you can install all the necessary drivers and connect to the Internet.

Hello guys, this is the firsttime I heard that you can run Windows 11 on the mac. is this the full x86 version of Windows 11 or the ARM based one? If this is the case, I may be interested in a N1 mac one day.

Thanks guys!
