    Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    • How did you noticed that user is still able to access the drive?

    • Click Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.

    • Uncheck all the permission for system.
    • Click OK and make sure the change is applied to all subfolders and files.
