You can't just put it on the computer as is, oh no. They need you to set up an account and provide all the details with which to gather intel and sell you ads.

Unless they've changed it recently you can set up a local account during setup. They make it difficult and not obvious and they're always changing around exactly how you do it but you should still be able to.

This, you don't have to make one. In earlier versions of Win10 they made the wording confusing and tricky to opt out, but have since actually gotten better about it.

Pretty sure you can skip that, unless they changed it recently.

what these guys said. i built my latest pc november last year, and reinstalled over my fresh install after learning that signing in with your microsoft account sets the default profile as the first 5 characters of your email, which is dumb as fuck. so i went back, made a local profile, and signed in to my account later.

I couldn't find the option to install without making account though. It wasn't anywhere on the screen.

You have to choose "Domain Join Instead" which is in tiny text under the Microsoft account login box. This will give you the option to create a local administrator account, you don't actually have to join a domain.

They haven't changed anything. You can still set up local accounts. Even when installing the latest version directly, 1903.

Literally fake news. The only thing you should take away from this topic is that TC is completely and utterly tech illiterate.
