But now that you say that, I started thinking of differences between the two laptops I had worked on, and one of the differences between these two laptops was that one was the standard Windows 11 and the other was Windows 11 in S Mode. The laptop in S Mode was the one that wouldn’t let me bypass the OOBE. I wish I would have checked the exact version each were running but I did not, so it may not come down to the version but laptops with S Mode may just have zero way to bypass. permalink fedilink source parent
