    Is it possible to place and keep installation files in the cloud and install locally to D:\?


    I have a program that I wish to install on my laptop. I have only 750GB of space spread across two drives. 500GB HD, and 250GB SSD. The problem is that the program requires in excess of 400GB to install and run. I can run 400GB off my empty HD, but I cannot both have the installation files present AND have the space required to install at the same time. The installation files are over 150GB. I realize I just need to buy a 1TB HD and bite that bullet, but is it possible to install from the cloud onto D:\ locally?

    :)

    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)
