How can I reinstall Win11 without connecting to the internet?
During the installation process, Win11 will automatically prompt users to connect to the internet for activation and updates. However, if you prefer to skip the online step when reinstalling the system, you can try the following method:
- Disable internet connection: Before the online requirement appears during the installation of Win11, you can disconnect the computer’s network connection, such as unplugging the ethernet cable or turning off Wi-Fi. This way, the system cannot connect to the internet and therefore cannot perform online verification.
- Use offline installation media: If you have already downloaded the offline installation media for Win11 (ISO file), you can choose to install locally during the installation process. This method does not require online verification, as the installation files are already available locally.
Please note that skipping the online connection may result in the system not being able to activate or receive the latest updates, which may affect the functionality and security of the system. If online connection is necessary, please activate and update as soon as possible.
