Windows 11 Unattended Installation Answer File
|
||
================================================
|
||
UNIVERSAL — no modification required before use.
|
||
|
||
What this file does automatically:
|
||
• Installs "Windows 11 Pro" from any standard Microsoft ISO
|
||
• Bypasses the Microsoft-account OOBE requirement (local account)
|
||
• Skips the EULA, wireless, and privacy nag screens
|
||
• Leaves timezone, language, region, and user account to the user
|
||
at the two short OOBE screens that remain
|
||
|
||
What the user is prompted for during first-run (OOBE):
|
||
1. Region / Language / Keyboard (one screen)
|
||
2. Who will use this PC? (local account name + password)
|
||
|
||
Timezone is set to UTC and can be adjusted after login.
|
||
Computer name is auto-generated; rename at any time.
|
||
|
||
Tested against: Windows 11 Home / Pro / Home Single Language (amd64)
|
||
