From 7 Pro to win 10 but do NOT want MS acc, just Local User Acc, HOW?

Been doing some digging and found this
Confirmed: Windows 10 Setup Now Prevents Local Account Creation
and this
Microsoft account required at initial setup - no way to bypass
but they refer to "Home" and saying in Pro there is a "Domain" option but i can't see that and i downloaded the ISO about 4 days ago using their media creation tool, is there a workaround apart from the phone number that will help me bypass the MS account creation please?

I think that only applies to Home edition.

Easiest way to be sure is disconnect from internet during installation process, then it will have to create a local acoount.

There is one major advantage to using a Microsoft Account, It assigns your licence to the microsoft account, which provides you with an option to recover a licence if the Motherboard fails beyond repair, and you need to relicense new hardware.

It is my opinion that everyone should consider creating and using a Microsoft Account, not for day to day use, which can use a local account. The MS account can even be deleted from the system as long as you note and retain the details for use if the worse happens

you can get a digital license even if you don´t use a microsoft account.

First of all, that only applies to a clean install, not an upgrade from W7 to W10. An upgrade just uses whatever account you currently have, it won't ask to set up a new one.

Second, it's only Home that's missing the 'offline account' option, Pro still offers it if you set up for personal use (ie. not on a Domain).

And finally, even a clean install of Home offers the offline account if you are not connected to the internet when you set it up. And if you forget, use Brink's suggested dummy phone number to get the offline account option to appear.

Phone number trick worked for me, thx guys
