Hi, i have recently purchased a second hand motherboard and cpu from a local company.. Ive tried to install a fresh copy of windows on it from a USB drive i made on another PC (Windows 10 Pro). However when the machine first boots after installation it connects to the internet and says login to 'X corporation' enterprise account. And i cant proceed.. I assume the PC hardware is somehow linked to the corporations enterprise MS accounts and locked to it. Is there a way to remove this or circumvent this since the hardware it now owned by myself? I tried it without a network connection but it simple says 'Connect to the internet'..

I tried a few tips to skip this step but seems its the tips like (Open cmd with Shift + F10 and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO) dont work.

I should add Motherboard is a Strix ROG 270f Gaming.

Any ideas?

I presume the windows key is from the Mobo. Did you install windows offline without an account?

I'm clutching at straws but if you can get into the bios, check the ver against what's online and possibly flash it? The fact it's a rog would make me think it's consumer.
 
Ive been told its the "Autopilot Hardware ID" thats causing it as Windows Azure will now link hardware IDs to corporate networks via windows servers when you connect to the internet.. they have said they can remove it but i need to give them "sigh"

No, i havnt even got as far as needing a key, this step is the first part windows goes through post installation ie before you create an account etc.
 
Apparently you can use Rufus to make a Windows install USB stick that will create a local account and bypass the Microsoft 365 Autopilot feature. Also, AFAIK they won't have access to the PC and you won't have access to their data because you need a valid Microsoft 365 account on their tenant to complete the Autopilot process.
 
You got same issue others reported.


Best to contact the company who is listed on Microsoft enterprise login account to give your motherboard hardware ID and they will locate device ID and deregistration it from Autopilot Intune.

You could try Powershell script to see if it can deregistration device from Autopilot.
