Used the “for Work or School” option in the setup – Local ID with the full ID name (7 characters including a space) as User folder

Sorry, Still don’t fully understand what you input after selecting to join a Domain.  Doesn’t Windows request information regarding the Domain you are trying to join?  Like a name, a number, an email, or something?  What do you input at this point? Just ignore and it sends you to Local Account setup?

Can you pls fill in the steps/info to input after you select join a Domain up to where Windows provides a Local Account creation screen?

What does the “Local ID with 7 with the full ID name” refer to?

…but don’t you have to provide some Domain information that you claim to be joining?

And does this mess with Windows setup settings behind the scene even tho you get to set up a Local Account?

@sb

I’ve been promising a step-by-step guide to help you migrate to Windows 11 as neatly and safely as possible. This isn’t it.

I’m planning that for May

Unfortunately my new system arrives next week and can’t wait – bummer.

In the meantime, can someone describe (or link) how to utilize the “join a Domain” process when setting up Windows 11 Pro – step by step?  I though I recall there being some wrinkles or hassles with that method tying the user into some more business like modes?

I would like to have it handy in the event the other Shift + F10 methods don’t allow me a Local Account at setup.

Thanks, and understand.   I do not/have not set up Accounts on Firefox/Google or the like.

Except for 2016 Office install (on which I am signed out), I  have also avoided MS so far.

take a slow crawl though both directories (the one you put on the thumb drive and the one on the new computer) to make sure that what is going to be replaced matches what is replacing it in terms of file name and approximate size.

I will be moving from an updated Windows 10 Pro machine to a new machine with Windows 11 Pro.  I assume current versions of Edge would match up with base files, however could/would there be files in my currently utilized Profile previously created by usage that would not be present in a brand new Profile?

What IF there are more or less file names?  Would this be a no-go?

@b,  @RetiredGeek

Being picky, but I assume the “first command line” (shown above as 3 lines probably due to display space limitations) would still be properly entered as 1 single line starting with “reg add”- correct?

Second command line – no problem, understood.

What happened to the “@echo off” line?  Is that not needed?  Is it actually the first part of the first command line?  Or, should it the first line, and the others are 2nd & 3rd lines?

@pl1 thx.

I saw that, sorry but I don’t know what “being released to the Dev channel” or “being part of insider build” means in an actual time table.  Can you/someone please explain the time line?

when I went from a PC to a Mac, all I did was install both Google Chrome and Firefox and then log in to them with the ID and Password I had used for them on the PC.

Pls clarify.  Installed both where?  With what ID and Password?

Maybe I need to clarify that I have not registered my Firefox browser.

It is my understanding that this “bypassnro” needs to be used for ALL Windows 11 installations not just Home to be allowed to set up a Local Account, No?

I’m expecting my new computer build next week with Windows 11 Pro 24H2.  Maingear (the builder) will probably be loading whatever they currently have sometime this week. When will this announcement take affect?

For those still successfully being able to use the “bypassnro” for a Local Account, does this mean MS is planning on “force implementing” this on all of us in future updates?

IF  forced into an initial MS Account at setup, will we still be able to switch to a Local Account after the fact?

@RetiredGeek

Did you use the Windows 11 Control Panel Uninstaller or another method?

Can you answer any of my  other questions, especially does the trial (Stub?) offer various purchase offers (365 or CTR options)?

@joep517

Anything further to add in the event that I get tagged with the trial (Stub?)

Exactly, that’s why it would be nice if the membership could pool their knowledge of what works or doesn’t to assist everyone.

Let’s be honest and put my highlighted comment you are showing back in context to your specific comment below, specifically insinuating, without knowledge, that I have been doing no, little, or minimal research on this topic for myself which per my detailed reply is false and without merit.

My comment was solely in response to your insinuation and has nothing to do with any other member who took their time and effort to provide a response to this inquiry.

Thanks for your additional information and links. I have already reviewed all but never came across the one by Ed Tittel which has some good commentary.

You have been very helpful in my quest to find operational information on this program for myself as well as hoped it would be a depository for others to reference.

I note you have provided helpful commentary to many others seeking similar information under various wumgr postings.  In particular you shared your settings in your reply #2316946.

This is the kind of feedback I have been trying to obtain with my posting.

Thanks

I appreciate the first part of your helpful commentary.

Sorry, but can’t let this inappropriate comment go unresponded to:

BTW, JMHO, but asking others to be your guinea pig probably isn’t the best way to get meaningful responses.

Your HO has merit, but if it is in reference to me, it is an inaccurate and unappreciated comment.  I never made such an ask in this ongoing discussion. My ask is for members to share results of what they did or did not do, not to be “your guinea pig”.

It makes no sense that each Woody member should have to experiment with trial and error to see what each of the program’s setting selections do. Little doubt that among all the members that they have collectively tried them all. So what does each one do? Or at least if each member would post what the ones they tried did or did not do we can build an answer sheet for all to reference.

Very disappointed in your commentary.  You have no idea how many hours and sites I have spent/visited trying to find these answers via searches/reviews/Ai.  So for your information and the other thankers.  It was over 6 hours over 3 days and over 35 sites plus numerous blogs Q&A’s.

All of them simply do a quick overview of the obvious main buttons. None of them answer any of the questions that I posed to the Woody membership. I am not expecting just you to provide all the answers, a broad perspective from all members and senior staff is welcome.  I only come here AFTER biting many bullets.

Many have asked here and on the internet yet I cannot find a comprehensive answer to what each item does/changes in the two (2) Settings boxes, Options and Auto Updates. Does anyone have the answers?

Please point me to where I can find all (even some) detailed answers to my specific questions if they are already available as per above, I can’t locate them.

As to “provide a comprehensive answer”, this would require many hours of work to coalesce

How much time would it take to share\say: “In the Option block, I checked this one, this is what happened within the wumgr and Windows Update”?
