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.
