Brand new, out of the box. It’s been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.

That can be circumvented, luckily. When setting up the computer, hit shift+F10 and type in: OOBE\BYPASSNRO That will restart the computer, and it is now possible to create a local account. Why they would make it so difficult is hard to fathom, besides datamining it’s userbase and profit… oh wait, I got it now.

Just disconnect the internet connection before you start setup 👍

Usually doesn’t work on newer builds. Even with no nic driver installed it wants to connect.

Wants to, but can’t. I set up two installations in the last few weeks, and set up local accounts using this.

Ironically, I had to wipe and reinstall one because I accidentally set up Pro instead of Home >.<

Or make the installer with Rufus. It has the option to disable all those questions.
