              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.

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

                                  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!
