    You are wrong for now, it is still possible.

    • Ctrl + Shift + F3 during setup gives you access to sysprep
    • In an admin CMD you can excecute the BypassNRO.cmd script. In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\
    • I have encountered one 24H2 installation where the oobe folder was empty, but if you copy the file from another device it works just the same
    • Reboot from sysprep and you can now select “Install without internet” when selecting a WIFI

    This will not work if you’re already connected to a wifi. BypassNRO sets a registry flag, so it’s only a matter of time till they patch it out, but it works for now.

    Edit: Rufus also allows the creation of a local user when making the installation USB, skipping the entire setup process.

        Yes it does, a client needed this documentation and I’ve tested it extensively. The only exception is when S-Mode is enabled.
