      I’ve had issues with the installer from 24H2 for my unattended. I had to use the previous versions installer and installed the 24H2 ISO.

    I put this in another thread: It’s not a big deal. They’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script, which is just this:

    @echo off

    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    shutdown /r /t 0

    You can still use shift-F10 at the same point, type those two lines (not the @ECHO OFF), and it will achieve the same result.

        if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn’t making regestry edits.

        That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

    This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity

    And what if someone doesn’t have internet connectivity?

      But then how we can put advertisements in the Start Menu, and spy on them once our Project2025 overlords want the general populous to be fully committed to extremist christianity 24/7?

      every passing day i feel increasingly gratified to have switched my previously win11 laptop to linux mint. aside from the sheer principle of microsoft being ass, i also fucking despise all of windows’ AI bullshit. Fuck copilot for eternity.

        I’m waiting for things like HDR to work properly on Linux - once it’s as easy to mod and play games on Linux as it is Windows I’ll be making the jump.

        Uh… what? They only thing they have in common is following the POSIX standard. The moment you step outside of that POSIX lowest common denominator, it becomes abundantly clear just how different they are.

    I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

      Which suggests to me that MS stores plaintext passwords. Because a hash function doesn’t care about the length of what it’s hashing, the output will always be the same length, so they could verify a 300 character password with the same storage space as a 3 character password.

        Not how it works. You don’t attempt to guess the hashed password, you guess a password which then is hashed

          What’s stored is hash(password). Then the password check is stored == hash(entered).

          Hash(x) will be the same length, regardless of what x is. What that length is depends on which hash function it is. So the database can set the length of its storage for each user’s password to the length of the hash and the hash function will take any size password.

    I will just have to sign it up to a domain then add a local user using the command prompt. Still a lot more trouble than installing it should be but I will not give in to this garbage push to make everyone have a microsoft account. I disable the store and all of it on every PC I install.

      Thank you! I had no idea that this existed. This is a solution for me personally, but also a solution for our clusterfuck IT people at work that do not understand that we have hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts that need to be fulfilled with software that costs us $12 per day to use and probably wont run on windows 11, instead of breaking everything and migrating it to a software that costs us $32 a day to use but will work on windows 11.

        Let me know how that goes!

        (I use the 21H2 Enterprise IoT version, for personal use, i can’t share openly how i obtained it, that is AFAIK the only version that goes up to 2032)

        Here are the versions of W10 and their extended support dates. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information

        (Since you said you are a enterprise user, I am not sure what is the license eligibility for IoT exactly, but for non-IoT, you can go up to 2029 with version 1809)
