Ok. Mystery solved! It seems that when you click on 'Create Account' the control on the right of the screen to move up/down that page has a tendency to disappear. So, when I go to that point, there was no control to advance down the screen.
But, if you move the mouse then the control appears. It only stays on the screen for about 4 or 5 seconds and disappears. I am loading Win10 Preview in Virtual Box. I don't know if this disappearing/reappearing slide control is due to Virtual Box or if it is inherent in Win10. After find this out, I was able to scroll to the bottom of that page and there was that selection. All is well. Sorry for the airhead moment. :) Daniel On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 12:25 PM, D R <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, I thought the same thing. > > In Win 8/8.1 you can create a local account. > > And, when I downloaded and installed the first release of Win 10, it also > had the same selection. > > But, on this latest release, I go to do the same thing and I don't see it > there.
