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

        Nope just updated the other day and it requires you answer those questions all the time. They even require a MS account now

          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.

              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 >.<

          Honestly I don’t even feel the need to Google to confirm, that seems hilariously par for the course.
