    Local account - as before - disconnect NIC cable

    Hi there

    as before (Win 8 / 8.1) if you want a LOCAL account simply during the setup phase just disconnect the NIC cable (or if on a VM detach the virtual NIC. Then go back a step and it will then prompt you for a local user.

    Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.

    Cheers
