Hi,
I'm trying to get internet connection to my VM but I'm failing don't know why.
I have the network set to "Share with my Mac" but my guess is that VMWare Fusion need some kind of "Privacy and Security" approval but I can't find what it need.
While Win11 ask for internet connection , press Shift-F10 (or Fn-Shift-F10) open command prompt,
then input: OOBE\BYPASSNRO
After press return Win11 will reboot and have a "In donb't have Internet..." link near the "Next" button.
Just click it then you can install Win11 without network.
Hi,
Can you please let us know if you are trying this on Apple M1 or x86 machine? Also can you please check if vmtools are installed for the VM.
Please Note- For Apple M1 machines you need to install vmtools for Network and Display drivers.
Click on Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools. Tools Iso will be mounted and then follow README from mounted logical drive.
I find that occasionally, often when resuming from a suspend, that the networking doesn't want to work.
A quick and easy workaround I've used is just to disconnect and reconnect the Network Adapter.
@higarg I don't have a bug filed on this one yet, but if you could help when you get a chance that would be super 😃
Is this a newly built VM or one where you had the debug adapter workaround enabled? I couldn't get my old one with that setting to work, so just built a new VM - works fine.
I’m using M1 Pro ( apple silicon )
it’s hard to install VMware tools before you even have a OS installed.
I did download the win11 latest vhdx from MS and converted it to the proper format everything works fine until the setup stops as it don’t have any internet.
It was the win11 preview that I did download from MS konverted it to work with VMware then it halts during config (windows first boot) as it don’t have any internet
Two thoughts
Use the procedure in the Tech Preview Testing guide to disable network checking.
or
Right after first boot of the converted VHDX drop into a power shell prompt (F10), install tools via command line, and then reboot. You should have a network and the setup should continue.

I think this is not working anymore on Player Version e.x.p (20486664)
@khewdev What isn't working any more? The disabling of the OOBE networking checks is a commonly suggested workaround for installing Windows 11 22H2 when no network is present (regardless of whether you have a physical or virtual machine).
If you do have a network connection and you are disabling OOBE\BYPASSNRO to get Windows to a point where you can install VMware Tools, then check out the alternate procedures in the unofficial Tips and Techniques guide. THose procedures install the drivers earlier in the setup process so you don't have to disable networking and the setup will find that you have a network connection.
I have followed your steps and start VM windows 11.
But my VM was no internet access and no network adapters.
I have tried everything as per my knowledge but failed .
Please assist
I have applied all these steps on my website to solve this issue. But still exist.
