I just set up an HP Laptop for someone and Windows setup is horrendous. Fuck you Microsoft.

There's no way around using a Microsoft account, but when you enter an invalid login, you can proceed setting up a local account anyway. Then all the shit is set up to my disliking. And of course, Microsoft installs its own services adware and additional third-party adware you can't uninstall, and then, HP does the same, installing more scamware. Disgusting.

Use no@thankyou.com as the email anything as the password and it'll let you setup a local account.

a worked - apparently doesn't even need to be a valid/web email address

Before using any potentially valid domain name I try to use example.com, which is guaranteed to not be in use or claimable.
