    Microsoft account required at initial setup - no way to bypass

    I run small IT Services company (Country Computer Guy) and have install/re-installed Windows 10 many times with minimal issues. I am setting up a refurbished Dell Outlet Inspiron 15 - 7573 2-in-1 laptop with a Windows 10 Home build for a customer. The laptop came directly from the DelI Outlet. I believe it to be either 1809, 1903 or possibly 1909. I don't know the build version as I can't get passed the "Sign in with Microsoft account" screen. I want to use a local account as per my customer's request. Upon power up the Microsoft setup runs as normal until it gets to creating an account. In my experience the installation/setup defaults to setting up or using a Microsoft account but there is usually a way to bypass this and use a local account instead. There are no options to bypass signing in with a Microsoft account.

    I will probably sign in with my own Microsoft account and then try to create a local account.

    Has anyone else seen this? is there a way to bypass signing in with a Microsoft account or is this the norm going forward?

    Thank you in advance,


    +=+ performed a full system reset and the setup went as normal and I was able to create a local account. +=+

    Unable to setup Windows Hello, error: incorrect pin

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    May I know the complete error code or error message that you are receiving when you try to setup Windows Hello?

    Do you have any other user account on the computer?

    If yes, does Windows Hello work on that account?

    If Windows Hello is not setup on other account, please setup it up and check if it works so that we can narrow down the issue for you.

    I suggest to remove the pin and setup a new pin on the child account and check if it works with Windows Hello.

    Please follow the steps below to remove and re-add the PIN:

    • Press Windows logo key + I to open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click on Sign-in options.
    • Under PIN, remove the pin. There will be prompt to enter password, enter the password and removed the PIN.
    • After the pin is removed, please click on
      Add to setup pin for the account.
    • After setting up a new PIN, try to set up Windows Hello.


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    How do I bypass a PIN on a Windows 10 Home system setup with a Microsoft account?

    Microsoft account required at initial setup - no way to bypass

    Windows 10 iso recovery can be used to generate files that display the Windows version and build:

    systeminfo
    Msinfo32
    dxdiag


    To bypass the requirement to sign in with a Microsoft account you must be disconnected from the Internet:
