    Creating a Local account on a new computer?


    I do a lot of new computer set ups for people. So i'm normally unboxing and setting up new Dell's and HP's. I remember before on the initial setup, when Microsoft would ask for an email address, there was a Make Local account button on the bottom left.. but on the past 2-3 new set ups i've done, that option seems to be gone. Did they do away with that? Is there any way to set up a brand new computer without making a MS account?

    Thanks

    Do not connect to network/internet until after inital setup. Simple.
