    This is just for Home edition, yeah? Pretty sure Professional still allows you to create offline accounts without a Microsoft account before joining a domain.

      Last time I tried it let me create a local account, then about a week later I got called because Windows threw a full-screen blocker on boot saying a Microsoft account was required to continue with “I’ll do it later” being greyed out. Oddly enough, ALT+F4 worked to close it and continue.

      Ahah, no, I installed Professional edition a couple of months ago and I needed to do the OOBE/something-somethinNO to proceed with the install

      Intel network card also helped because it didn’t work out of the box and I really had no internal other than mobile

      I tried not too long ago and had issues. I don’t know if they hid it somewhere else, or removed it, but I ended up installing using a different method.

        I do know they made it a pain in the ass to find the last time I built a computer, but I did eventually find it… though things may have changed in recent weeks.

          Last time I tried (a couple days ago) there was no way around creating an MS account without using the command line and cutting off Internet.

      before joining a domain.

      You do it essentially while joining the domain. If you hit the “work” option instead of “home” it immediately goes to a “sign into your domain” screen.
