Honest question: What does Microsoft expect people with no Internet access to do?

What chached login? This is talking about a fresh install on a clean (or wiped clean) drive.
Where would this be cached on a brand new PC never connected to the internet?

Ah, I misunderstood. If there’s no Internet during initial install, pretty sure it’ll just default to using local. I’m not 100% certain, though, as I’ve not setup a totally offline install in a long time. I also haven’t used any edition of Windows that wasn’t at least Professional or Enterprise, so I’m guessing there’s differences there as well for account management.
