Windows 10: Not able to create initial account

I purchased a new PC with windows 10.


The configuration process forced me to use my mircosoft account. No option to create local account in that process.


I do not want my Microsoft account for this pc, but a local admin user account.


The documents state I can switch to local user, but option to do so is not present.


It seems many other users have encountered this, and have had mixed results and success at best.


Does the forum have a solution? Have not found one from Microsoft yet.


Please not that upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 went just fine on another PC, but that PC already had the initial account.
