    • On Windows 10 it's simpler. Before starting the installation, remove the network cable, and during the installation routine, do not connect to WiFi. Thus you will have the option of installing with a local account.

  • For the e-mail address I enter the text written between the quotes "admin", and for the password I write the text entered between the quotes "1234", and thus I can bypass the need for an account, because with that account it appears to me that it is blocked. I've been using this thing since Windows 8, and it still works on 11.
