So basically with the MediaCreationTool I could re-install the windows, after I put the key it detected the correct windows version.
I hit the same problem, however turning off the ethernet cable I was able to bypass the screens.
Thanks once again!
I still don't understand why MS is forcing the connection to internet.

Did you try? Hit SHIFT-F10 keys at the same time to open a command prompt, and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO shutdown /r /t 0 If the above doesn't work, try this reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f shutdown /r /t 0 EDIT - For more info: https://4sysops.com/archives/install-windows-10-11-22h2-without-microsoft-account/

Hi there,
This is Tamal trying to help you with the issue.
Yes, you can go you with the fresh installation. You may not need reactivate windows upon installation as the process is automated. You can still use your windows 7 key during installation or proceed with choosing I don't have a key option.
I think your reset was not complete or might be initial installation was done as a domain joined computer. You have tried all the good things and those should have worked, but as that is not happening better go with the fresh installation after creating an installation media.

Microsoft has disabled the popular 'bypassnro' Windows 11 sign-in workaround in the latest Insider build, but there exists another | PC Gamer
March 31, 2025 - The bypassnro method was relatively simple, involving opening a command prompt window with Shift + F10 and entering oobe\bypassnro followed by an ipconfig /release command after restart. No longer, it seems—and if it's been removed from the Preview build, there's a strong likelihood it might reach a release build, too. However, it's not the only game in town when it comes to skipping past Microsoft's Windows 11 account requirements.

I am attempting to setup the Laptop but, while going through the OOBE setup process, I am forced to either setup or login using a Microsoft account. I prefer to use only offline accounts; how would I bypass the Microsoft Account setup?
Thank you.

With Pro, you can choose the option “I don’t have the user’s Microsoft Account information” or something like that at which point it let’s you create a local account. I’m 95% sure you can do the same with Home. I think having the network disconnected while running the OOBE setup works as well.
