    As some of the community members have mentioned below: 1. You can easily bypass Microsoft Account Login using Shift F10 and typing oobe\BypassNRO. This would bypass connecting to a network. 2. Leave the password blank to skip security questions. 3. I mentioned Chris Titus' Tool. But I found another to be equally good: github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools 4. Highly recommend Chocolatey and Chocolatey GUI for installing apps: chocolatey.org/

    everytime I set this up I get 2 mouses pointers on windows vms and the UI from the web is pretty much a struggle to use. I install all the drivers and not sure what else needs to be installed. Once I enable remote desktop then I can access the vm from rdp without issue but the web UI is completely unuseable for me atleast right now. the network connection icon will also indicate as disconnected even thought I have a connection and can browse the internet. wondering someone might point me to what I need to change to get this to work.

    I never put a network on the PC before I am done installing win10 - you only have to "continue without internet" So does this work if you want to install win11 and want to get around that ridiculous demand of having gen 8/9 CPU and TPM2.0?

    You will have to add your audio device no the VM configuration as no audio device is available by default within the VM.

    Of course, you can change them. But keep in mind increasing is easy. Decreasing at the least disk size is a nightmare.

    Wait a second, something is off there with that Windows... I always leave Windows unconnected. When it asks, I tell it "I don't have Internet". This bypasses any updates and Microsoft account. So how can Tiny11 just not progress without internet ?

    Its not just a Tiny11 issue. Its for any Windows 11. But check pinned comment on how you can bypass it.

    Thanks will do. Yes chocolatey is awesome. In fact many of the debloat tools that install apps also use chocolatey underneath for packages.

    I would add, that for some (for me for example) u have to change the boot order, cause for whatever reason, it lists the drivers image first in boot sequence, so it will never boot the windows instalator this way...

    0:57 it is very easy to bypass the MS login on a fresh windows setup. Shift+F10, oobe\bypassnro. Also for the initial admin account, I usually just type something basic but not too generic like "localadmin", and if you leave the password blank, it bypasses the extras steps with the 3 questions.

    On the installation skip the password empty will not bother you with three questions . just note
