Windows activate - clarification
It's been a long time since I've activated Windows 10 on a new computer, and the last time things did not go as I'd hoped, so I have a question.
I use local accounts on my computers. I'm getting a new computer today with an OEM installation of Win 10 Pro. Is it possible to define a local user (with admin authority) prior to activation? I have a Microsoft account and will use it during the activation process, but I don't want the user profiles on the computer associated with that MS account.
The last time I went through this process starting from a Microsoft account rather than a local account Windows built a profile name for the first user based on my email address rather than my "userid". I don't want that.
By the way, the computer comes with Win 10 Pro, but I have no idea what version. I assume it will be either 2004 or 20H2.
