Prepare Windows 11 Installer Partition

2. Mount the ISO and note the drive letter, e.g., F:
3. Press Win + X, then open Disk Management
4. Right-click a volume → Shrink Volume… → Shrink → Note the drive letter of the new partition, e.g., G:

5. Navigate to the ISO drive:

    cd F:\boot
   

6. Make the new partition bootable:

Install Windows 11 Without Bloat & Microsoft Account

1. On the “Is this the right country or region?” screen, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt

2. Type the following command and press Enter. Your computer will reboot:

    OOBE\BYPASSNRO
   

3. Make sure the computer is offline. If not, press Shift + F10 and type:

    ipconfig /release
   

   You can just unplug the Ethernet cable and skip this step.

4. On the “Is this the right country or region?” screen, select German again:

   We choose German because it forces Windows to comply with EEA laws, which prevent Windows from installing bloatware and let you uninstall the Edge browser. Don’t worry, you can change this later in Settings.

5. Follow the setup prompts and be sure to click “I don’t have internet” and “Continue with limited setup”.
