Hello, *Smile


It depends on what you are wanting this for.

Windows requires you to have either a local account or Microsoft account on the PC to be able to sign in and use Windows 10.

If you wanted to set this up without an account so whoever gets the PC can finish setting up Windows 10 with their own account, then you could do the tip under step 17 in the tutorial below for this.

If you just wanted to set up a local account instead of Microsoft account on the PC, then you could use step 24 in the tutorial below when you reach step 22.

The installation was apparently corrupt. I would recommend you factory reset it, then set it again, but this time use a local account.

You can connect to a Microsoft Account after setup.
