It should now reboot and give you the option to make a local account in the fine print

You don’t even have to do any of that, when it prompts for a Microsoft account put in nonsense, like [email protected] Then whatever for password. Keep trying to sign in with it until should prompt you to put in a name instead and set up a local account.
The article does it right:
test@test.comand other similar things (e.g:a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it’ll proceed to create an offline account.The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.
I use [email protected]. Works like a charm.
If you don’t want a Microsoft account, at this point you should really consider switching to Linux.
Fair point but my games only run on windows.
Yeah, that sucks. I’m not much of a gamer myself. I know there are workarounds, but I probably would stay with Windows for games too if that was the case.
I’ll probably install a second SSD for Linux so I can dual boot for development.
Is a requirement for getting hired at Microsoft the ability so show utter contempt for your users? Sure seems like it.
