Having Trouble Dual Booting Windows with Linux on HP Envy x360

It's frustrating that they removed the local account option! But you can try using the command prompt to bypass the Microsoft account requirement by typing commands like "oobebypassnro" or if that doesn't work, try "start ms-cx local". It's a bit of a hassle, but some users find success with it. Also, you can enter an email like "[email protected]" and any random password to force an error which should let you set up a local account.

You usually can skip the internet setup during Windows installation, but it seems that's not the case anymore. So, you're not alone! I heard about a trick to bypass the network setup with a command, but it seems you're having trouble typing in the command prompt. Have you checked that everything's connected properly? If the problem persists, there are some alternative commands you might try, just remember they may require a bit of finesse.

I totally get how annoying this can be! Just keep in mind that some laptops may require you to press Shift + Fn + F10 for the command prompt to work properly. If you can open it but can't type, it might be an issue with the keyboard settings. That said, there's also a developer console method that could help out, so you might want to look into that!
