    I tried to enter names / passwords like "user" and "localhost", used rufus (no longer working) and the bypass script, but learned that I can no longer bypass the MS Account?

    And yea, the additional options are there (school, join domain etc.) but it always throws me back at "Select personal or school account screen"

    that already was kinda discarded with 22H2 or was it 23H2, bypassnro should still work.

    On Home there is no domain to join, that is for pro and up.

    I have no surface device to test on but on vmware it still works.

    Sadly I cant test this ISO on another device right now,
    but using a temp online account I can create a local admin in this "Windows 11 SE".

    Still, this is truly annoying.

    Isn't SE = Cloud Edition? In that case, forced network is about to be expected, isn't it?

    Sounds right. When I try the script from here, trying to install "11 IoT Enterprise" on it, I also cant get past these screens.
    I want to understand this UEFI variable FORCED_NETWORK_FLAG first and see what can be done to this piece of plastic afterwards.
    Very interesting.

    The aim of the tutorial is to not have to rely on any third pary tool (+ they use this option).
