Installation and Upgrade Bypass Windows 11 System Requirements on Unsupported PC

Will always be a method that works. For anyone that stumbles across this, or if @Brink wants to pin this somewhere (repost it as it's own) (Credit attributed; feel free to adjust any I missed):​

​

Windows 11: Install WITHOUT Microsoft Account​

BYPASSNRO Method:​

• Press Shift+F10 when it asks for an internet connection
  *If this Does NOT Work, Restart PC and try key combo again*
• Type: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

Disable Network Connection Flow Method:​

• Press Shift+F10 when it asks for an internet connection
• Type taskmgr and hit the Enter button
• Click on the More details button
• Find the Network Connection Flow process
• Select it and click the End task button
• Close all windows and enter your name and password to continue.

• Press Shift+F10 to launch Command Prompt as Administrator
• Type: netsh wlan show interfaces
• Type: netsh interface set interface name="WirelessNetworkName" admin=DISABLED
  *Replace “WirelessNetworkName” with your Wi-Fi Interface Name*
• Close Command Prompt
• After Windows 11 Install, Go to Device Manager > Enable NIC

JAVA Method: (Credit: @thepineapple )​

• On screen that shows "Is this the right country or region?"
• Press CTRL + Shift + J (Click on the graphic on the left of the screen to shift the focus. THEN press the key combination).
• A Java console will be opened. Enter the command below.
  *Case Sensitive*
  WinJS.Application.restart("ms-cxh://LOCALONLY")
• Make sure that the console is still the active window by clicking on it, then press the ESC key. This will close the console but you will see a new panel on the screen that looks like this:
  
  
• Enter a user name here. This will be an Admin user account

• Press Ctrl+Shift+F3 when it asks for an internet connection.
• Will Reboot and Login with Administrator Automatically
• Leave “System Preparation Tool” Window Open
• Create Local User Account in Any Method
• Open Registry Editor
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status
  DWORD: AuditBoot = Value to Decimal “0”
• Close Registry Editor
• Close “System Preparation Tool” Window
• Reboot PC to OOBE

AnswerFile Method: (Credit @hsehestedt )​

• Create a text file (in Notepad or similar; editor that does NOT alter formatting)
• Paste the following XML:
  
  
• Code:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  The purpose of this answer file is to bypass the Windows 11 system requirement checks, create a local user account, and
  eliminate the need for an internet connection during setup. It does NOT perform an unattended installation of Windows.
  
  It includes a Windows 10 / 11 Pro key.
  
  It will create a local user account named "WinUser" with a full name of "Windows User" and a password of "Password1".
