I need to use a Windows VM to do a few things - I’m on Fedora and my Xbox controller has been glitching out a lot and I need to try updating the firmware. Also, I got a new RGB keyboard and I’m not able to use the proprietary software using Wine and OpenRGB does not support my keyboard (Cosmic Byte GK34 Firefly).
But when I try to install a Win 10 ISO it won’t let me past the Microsoft account page and the oobe command that’s suggested everywhere on reddit is not working. It says no such command found.
Windows 11 ISOs also aren’t working because even if I put 6GB memory and 80GB Storage for the VM (Microsoft lists 4GB and 64GB as requirement) it still says system does not meet requirement. I’m using the Boxes app for the VM creation.

I’m not sure but I think the oobe command is specifically for windows 11 and so I don’t know if it works on windows 10.
But I thought windows 10 still allowed for an offline account? Perhaps it depends on which edition you use, whether it’s home or not? If you are invited to connect to your Microsoft account, is there below an option which says “sign-in options”? If you click it, there should be a way to an “offline account”, is there?
Pretty sure you had to install Win10 without an internet connection to be able to create a local account
That could be, I was just remembering that you did not need to enter any specific terminal commands.
Disconnect the nic before booting and if you are using a non home version there should be an option for an Active Directory account. That should let you access the local user creation screen.
If Windows 10 is enough, you can install it offline just fine if you disconnect the internet for the VM before starting the installer.
