      OMG!!! this is perfect!!! Thanks @JaredBusch , it will be easier to walk people through an out of the box pc.

      We use this constantly 🙂

      yes and it will be great for my padawan to use as reference as well

      I need to update this a little bit. The best thing to do with windows 10 pro, is the click set up for business and domain join (even if no domain). Type in admin username. Leave password blank. Wait for install to complete. Install remote access tool. Set admin account password. Create user account. Reboot.

      yea, i've noticed there are some new screens like there's one that prompts you to opt for a "limited experience"

      This is the 1903 way to get a local account when choosing personal setup vs corporate ownership of the device.

      yea i dont know what the page says, i just know to click on limited experience to no have their microsoft account tied to it.

      That's why you always click setup for business and then domain. So much simpler workflow.

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

                                  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.

                                            Never joining the wifi would do the same thing.
