I could have sworn I avoided it the same way as in 8.1.
Whether it’s changed or not, I believe you will get the option to create a local one if you choose the right option to move past the screen that first prompts you to use an MS account. Then on the next screen near the bottom (you may need to scroll) there is something to click on to create a local account. (Sorry it’s so vague, but I haven’t done it enough times.) *From:* [email protected] [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *D R *Sent:* Tuesday, February 3, 2015 11:39 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* [NTSysADM] Windows 10 Account Settings Question: In Windows 8/8.1 I could setup a computer without having to use a Microsoft Account, as this was an option. But I do not see that same option in the Windows 10 Pre-Release. Is there a way around this so that I don't have to register a new account to Microsoft but just create a local account? -- Daniel Rodriguez [email protected]
