You don’t even need that anymore. I just spun up and bunch of VMs and all you need is a domain join. It doesn’t prompt for anything anymore.

Not a Windows user myself but isn't setting up a domain a pretty complicated process? Especially if you only want to bypass the account requirements. You would need another system running windows server or spin up a samba DC.

No, you don’t need a domain. You just have to select that option to avoid signing up for an account. They must have changed it, because it’s super simple now. I spun up like ten Windows 11 VMs last week using this method.

Got it. It might be limited to windows 11 pro though, since the home version can't join domains I believe.

Let me test it because yes, I was doing Education Pro ones.

When activating with MAS you might as well just install a Pro version anyways.

Yep, you’re right. You still have to do the OOBE skip with Home edition. I’m just playing around to see if I can find another way.
