If you recently went through a Windows 8.1 install, you may have noticed that you’re not given the choice to create a Local Account anymore. (used to in Windows 8) Instead, you’re now forced to use a Microsoft Account (aka Live/Hotmail). Like a fellow blogger so elegantly said: it’s bullshit.
Here’s how to create a Local Account during a Windows 8.1 install
Do NOT plug any network cable or enable the WiFi. If there’s no Internet connection available, then you will automatically be given the menu to to create a local account instead of a Microsoft Account. Easy! After that, just remember to plug back that cable. :D
Enjoy!
