OOBE

  • at any point in OOBE, get elevated command prompt pressing Shift+F10

    • ensure Internet not already connected (i.e. cable disconnected and/or WiFi profile not created – if already connected via WiFi, refer to below to delete)
    • using elevated command prompt, run C:\Windows\System32\OOBE\BypassNRO.cmd (effectively just type OOBE\BypassNRO and press Enter at the elevated command prompt when opened)
    • system will reboot
    • if Internet still connected on reboot, Microsoft will still force their stupid online account down your throat

    • using elevated command prompt, run netsh wlan show profiles
    • delete profile using netsh wlan delete profile name="<profile>"
  • run registry editor
