Proxmox 8 Makes Installing Windows 11 a Breeze + 5 Simple Tweaks 

As some of the community members have mentioned below: 1. You can easily bypass Microsoft Account Login using Shift F10 and typing oobe\BypassNRO. This would bypass connecting to a network. 2. Leave the password blank to skip security questions. 3. I mentioned Chris Titus' Tool. But I found another to be equally good: github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools 4. Highly recommend Chocolatey and Chocolatey GUI for installing apps: chocolatey.org/

I found you through your excellent traefik tutorial. Thank you! I love the way that you explain how things actually work and not simply a "do this and do that"

i never write comments., but I've just started with Proxmox.. and watched a few other videos on youtube.. Yours wasn't anything new (With regards to Win11 Setup) - but I enjoyed yours the most - and for me it was because you've explained in simple terms why you've selected the setup options you do... no one else explains it. So Nice one. thump and sub from me.

Wow! I've been in the industry for decades and today I actually learned a few new things! Thank you! very useful and clear!

This was a fantastic guide. Thanks so much, Anand!

nice and straight to the point. i like it. but where do you get the modified .ISO for local log in?

saludos desde argentina, es una explicacion perfecta para solucionar el error failed to run vncproxy proxmox,gracias y excelente contenido!!!

Could you link this vid and the topics discussed, on your blog? Explorer Patcher was great, thanks! Also look at the choco installer to automate all win package installations.

Thank you so much BRO ... keep UP your great work ... Subscribed&&LIKED

0:57 it is very easy to bypass the MS login on a fresh windows setup. Shift+F10, oobe\bypassnro. Also for the initial admin account, I usually just type something basic but not too generic like "localadmin", and if you leave the password blank, it bypasses the extras steps with the 3 questions.

everytime I set this up I get 2 mouses pointers on windows vms and the UI from the web is pretty much a struggle to use. I install all the drivers and not sure what else needs to be installed. Once I enable remote desktop then I can access the vm from rdp without issue but the web UI is completely unuseable for me atleast right now. the network connection icon will also indicate as disconnected even thought I have a connection and can browse the internet. wondering someone might point me to what I need to change to get this to work.

I would add, that for some (for me for example) u have to change the boot order, cause for whatever reason, it lists the drivers image first in boot sequence, so it will never boot the windows instalator this way...

Thanks this worked once I updated patches it gave me bsd. doesnt see anything but bsd. Is there anyway to recover from usb and repair or reinstall windows via usb. Thanks

This helped me a lot thanks. Can I chenge the ram and HD size afterwards?

Thanks Anand! Is there anyway to fix the audio (which isn't working afterwards)?

can i use this as remote desktop? Hows the performance?

great! very tnx

One more thing, installing the guest tools and enabling spice, breaks the mouse on virtual machine, it just doesnt line up with my actual mouse anymore...

Where would I stop to turn this into a VM template.

I never put a network on the PC before I am done installing win10 - you only have to "continue without internet" So does this work if you want to install win11 and want to get around that ridiculous demand of having gen 8/9 CPU and TPM2.0?

Wait a second, something is off there with that Windows... I always leave Windows unconnected. When it asks, I tell it "I don't have Internet". This bypasses any updates and Microsoft account. So how can Tiny11 just not progress without internet ?

My ubuntu vm can output to monitor using igpu but win 11 can not. Can you make a video on it?

On the installation skip the password empty will not bother you with three questions . just note

What are the specs of the system proxmox host?
