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.

Did you downtown the iso from ms media creation tool? If you didn't and using one from work that's the problem its a custom iso set up for a company
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.
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.
