enusbaum,

I had to purchase an actual Windows 11 license this morning to setup a gaming PC upstairs for my wife to play on the big screen.

The hoops I had to jump through just so I didn't have to setup Windows 11 with my Microsoft Online account were absurd! 🤯

@enusbaum I just use Pro or Enterprise and unplug Ethernet while installing. Should work for 11 as well

enusbaum,

@chiefgyk3d WELL -- I'm using wifi only for this computer, and I didn't know beforehand that I would run into this issue, so once I joined it to the wifi, even if I released the DHCP lease, it'd renew.

Ended up re-re-installing and doing the whole command line + "I have no internet" bit and that worked. But yeah... just crazy you can't bypass that in normal order anymore.

@enusbaum yeah it’s a PITA and a reason I still use an enterprise key for windows from a prior job (they know and don’t care as long as I don’t share it)
