I used to be able to install a Windows 11 VM without network. During the installation process at some point I was able to choose to install with 'limited' support and create a local Windows account. After finishing installation I could load the network drivers in the VM and go from there.

 

The new Windows installation does not seem to allow that anymore. It just tells you you need internet to finish installation. There is no way to load the network driver. Or none that I see... Anyone got around this?
