"Allows you to choose" is absolutely the wrong way to describe it.

But yes, if you get an script with the set of actions that make local accounts possible, you can replicate them.



It's easy to miss but it is/was absolutely possible to decline creating a Microsoft account when installing Windows 10.


Original windows 10 offered it as an option.

But the current versions of windows 10 only offer that if you don't have internet (no ethernet cable in, and answered "I don't have a wifi" in the screen before user creation), if you connected to the wifi it won't show the option for local account.


You can decline to create a Microsoft account but it will prompt you to make one again every time you install updates and there’s only an option to “remind me later”


Long ago it was always the advice to never use an odd numbered windows release.

Seems like it still holds!
