Entering Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) mode from user mode on a PC typically involves using a command prompt with administrative privileges. Here’s how you can do this on a Windows PC.
There are two ways to enter OOBE
Using Run Dialog
Open Run Dialog:
Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Run Sysprep Command:
Type the following command and press Enter:
%windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot
This command will directly launch Sysprep to enter OOBE mode and reboot the PC.
Using Sysprep
Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
Press Win + X to open the Power User menu.
Select Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
Run Sysprep to Enter OOBE Mode:
In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:
%windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe
This will open the Sysprep tool.
System Cleanup Action: Choose Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE).
Choose Reboot if you want the system to restart automatically after entering OOBE mode, or Shutdown if you prefer to start it manually later.
