Hello,
It depends on what you are wanting this for.
Windows requires you to have either a local account or Microsoft account on the PC to be able to sign in and use Windows 10.

If you just wanted to set up a local account instead of Microsoft account on the PC, then you could use step 24 in the tutorial below when you reach step 22.
