    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)

    In that case, check to make sure that only your MSA is listed in the same settings below while signed in to Windows 10 with your MSA.

    If it is only your MSA listed, then check to make sure that you have your picture set for your MSA online at Microsoft.
