    1. DON’T CONNECT TO WI-FI

    2. Shit+F10 (you might need to hit Fn+Shift+F10) will open up command prompt

    3. OOBE\BYPASSNRO

    4. It should now reboot and give you the option to make a local account in the fine print

    If you don’t want a Microsoft account, at this point you should really consider switching to Linux.

    You don’t even have to do any of that, when it prompts for a Microsoft account put in nonsense, like fart@outmybutt.com Then whatever for password. Keep trying to sign in with it until should prompt you to put in a name instead and set up a local account.

      The article does it right: test@test.com and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it’ll proceed to create an offline account.

      The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.
