    Thank you for replying. I CAN get into the BIOS, but I am not sure what I am looking for. Any insights? Anyone?

    Hi,
    Maybe boot to lan enabled ?
    Surprised bios doesn't have a password if such a restriction existed though.
    On a clean install what is left ? only bios settings basically.

    That's why I also said reinstall the original hdd and see what happens.

    Response to Bree


    During the installation, that was never an option. I booted from the USB and followed the lead to install new. It never asked me for anything but 32/64 bit and the internet access. I am doing it again, without internet access to see what it askes. I will update as soon as I have more to report.

    I got it to install correctly


    Hi all:

    I checked in the BIOS and turned off all network startup configurations as per ThrashZone's suggestion. I also reinstalled without any internet connectivity as per Megahertz. Not sure which worked (I think it had more to do with Megahertz's suggestion) but I will thank you both, as well as a big shout out to all who participated.

    Thank you.

    MS don't make it easy to setup a local account, there is a very small create local account text at the bottom of the screen where it asks you to use an MS account to login. It will go on about a "limited experience" when using local account. To me, that's a limit on MS data they can capture, not really the experience.
    Will create a local account only automatically (i.e. won't even ask) if you don't have an internet connection during the installation. It will ask you 2x to connect (MS thinks you're a liar the first time of saying no); say no internet both times. then connect internet when computer is up and running.

    The "limited experience" is about not installing all the Microsoft bells-and-whistles bloatware that Windows comes with because MS thinks everyone wants to connect a phone, everyone wants to connect an XBox, everyone wants to talk to Cortana, everyone wants to do everything Microsoft thinks they should be doing, rather than what they want to do.

    Hi,
    Indeed I always disconnect internet to install
    It seems faster to me not dealing with ms email account servers/ updates/.... so that is likely all it took
