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.
“Install Cortana?”
Please tell me you’re kidding, I haven’t touched windows in years lol.
Nope just updated the other day and it requires you answer those questions all the time. They even require a MS account now

Just disconnect the internet connection before you start setup 👍
Can confirm this still worked for me as off two month ago.
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.
Honestly I don’t even feel the need to Google to confirm, that seems hilariously par for the course.
