    You’re asking the wrong question. You should be asking “who is trying to use Windows without any Internet access at all?”

    Which is definitely some people/situations. It’s not the standard user-centric use case that Microsoft expects, but it does exist.

      no, that’s not the question. you can still use windows without internet access, you just need some other device to get to the activation website. like a phone or another computer.
