      so, Doing a fresh install of Windows 10 Home ; And it does not give me an option to create without a Microsoft account.

      Disconnect from the Internet and then go back a step and try again.

          You don't have a button the keyboard? Try shift+f10 and ipconfig /release

              Is this even an option on Windows 10 Home edition? I'm honestly curious (not trying to start another WTF are you doing argument).

              I would've thought Microsoft would simply have eliminated the local account functionality.

                if you're connected to the internet at time of set up- it looks like you can't set up local accounts.

                                so, Doing a fresh install of Windows 10 Home ; And it does not give me an option to create without a Microsoft account.

                                Disconnect from the Internet and then go back a step and try again.

                                Will no allow me to go back and disconnect from Internet.. I'm using work Wifi So I can't take it down ..

                                Is this even an option on Windows 10 Home edition? I'm honestly curious (not trying to start another WTF are you doing argument).

                                I would've thought Microsoft would simply have eliminated the local account functionality.

                                if you're connected to the internet at time of set up- it looks like you can't set up local accounts.

                                So ridiculous. Since you have your choice of OSes... go for Ubuntu!

                                Not on the work computer I have to have windows.

                                Put it in a VM 😉

                                LOL then when I leave just leave the OS on there and have them all confused.. Ha ! 🤣

                                No one should be confused by a hypervisor. They aren't magical unicorns.

                                did you forget where I work?

                                        Never joining the wifi would do the same thing.

                                          Clicking this doesn't give you any way to make a local account?
