Cool if it did!

Many thanks,

"OPTION FIVE
To Add a Local Account or Microsoft Account in Local Users and Groups

The Local Users and Groups is only available in the
Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.

You will only be able to create a new local account using this option,
but you will be able to switch the new local account to a
Microsoft account afterwards.

Open Local Users and Groups, click/tap on the Users folder
in the left pane to open it, and click/tap on More Actions
and New User in the right "Actions" pane...
"

There must be some way to do it.

Work your way through the options until you find one. Like
maybe Option 3.

And be warned, that 2004 is going to make this harder.
Oh, I remember what it was, that ****ing PIN prompt. If
you don't want a PIN while doing a 2004 install, it spins
in circles... forever. It won't let you past without
defining a PIN. I pulled out the network cable, to cut off
it's oxygen and that still didn't help. I left it for a couple
hours too. It did not relent. I think that's because I was
using an MSA, and then I got trapped in the PIN prompt.
(You get 2004 by being an Insider. The non-RTM version of course.)

Generally, like frog boiling, the account setup procedure
noose keeps getting tighter and tighter, until you pitch
the computer out the window. I was coming pretty close at
that point.

Home edition drives me nuts

You don't get the Local User and Groups Manager (lusrmgr.msc), the Local
Security Policy Editor (secpol.msc), or the Group Policy Editor
(gpedit.msc) in any Home edition of NT-based Windows. Obviously they
never existed for 9x-based Windows.

In Home editions of Windows, lusrmgr.msc will open the MMC (Microsoft
Management Console) but the snap-in is disabled (not available). When
you try to run secpol.msc or gpedit.msc, you'll get a "not found" error.
Microsoft considers Home edition users as boobs that shouldn't be using
such tools. From what I've seen, they aren't far wrong. They probably
figured blocking or remove the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) might be
going too far.

I added a pro only comment to those three. Thank you!
