On the pro versions of windows we select “work or school” then “sign in options” and “domain join instead.
This prompts you to set up a local admin to do the domain join later.

Is it still working with this latest preview build?
Haven’t got my hands on it yet, but I’d be very surprised if they close that mehod
There are still ways to bypass these requirements, including setting up an unattend.xml installation, which bypasses the setup phase, but this requires a lot more work and includes creating a new Windows installation image from scratch.
Currently, it's also possible to manually re-add the bypassnro command to your system by typing the following into a command prompt: "reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f shutdown /r /t 0"
Did they added a screen where you can install drivers before the account creation page? Or do they mean if your wifi or ethernet hardware needs some special driver you can't install windows on it anymore? I regularly install windows on kvm with virtio ethernet, and I have to use bypassnro because I can only install the ethernet driver after install.
Requiring a custom installation image!?
This means Microsoft is pushing less tech-savy users to download unofficial images, by removing a basic widely used feature from its official images.
What could possibly go wrong?
And they are doing it in the name of security, lol
