Windows 10: I found out how to delete a local account

Hello, I went through heck trying to figure out how to delete a local account on my laptop prior to adding credentials. I bought the system and just did a quick start up and wanted to make sure it worked. I found out exactly how to do it. #1. Go into your control panel -Not settings -accounts all accounts should appearFind out what account you're wanting to delete. #2. Now go INDIVIDUALLY to each account and make sure you're NOT the administrator. #3. Make sure the one you're choosing to be as the administrator, has everything you want carried over from those you do not want to keep.*As a s

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)

Local vs Network user accounts

I just did a VM install, just to verify that I don't speak total crap.

Steps I took:

1. Installed Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 15063.0
2. Entered the License Key
3. Created a local account
4. Went to accounts and added my Microsoft account
5. Let Windows use this account for all apps
6. Checked status on Microsoft account web page.
7. Verified that the VM shows up there
8. deleted my VM locally
9. created a new VM installation without entering the License Key (on same VM but totally new Virtual disk)
10. re-did steps 3-7
11. verified that my VM is activated.

And indeed it is activated and I login to my VM using local account which is linked to my MS account.

Should I create a Video of this or do you trust my word on it? Or better yet test it yourself if you have a valid license key you can waste on a VM.
