    You can skip the MS account, but it takes effort.

    Do NOT connect to the internet, or you’re hosed and will have to start over.

    SHIFT+F10 to get a command prompt.

    cd oobe

    bypassnro

    It’ll reboot and now you’ll have options to skip the MS account for a “limited experience”. Once you get a desktop, connect to the internet.

        Not even ‘for things’ just to kinda own your own computer that you paid for (til they patch that)

      You also choose an English (international) as your language, to avoid the preinstalled crapware in the start menu.
