On A Pro install you can bypass the M/S Account on installing. One way I saw to get around the Forced Home Sign in, was to make up some "throw-away" account when 1st forced, then when it boots, create a second account as Admin that you really want to use ( with or without password) , then boot into that account and delete the previous throw away. Haven't looked but I assume you can also convert to a local as per W10.	wainuitech (129)

Haven't looked but I assume you can also convert to a local as per W10. Thats what I did. Made a new local user account & deleted the original. You can convert the initial/first account to local, but it still tries to sync that a/c's data with MS . I deleted it it to stop it syncing/downloading data from/to that a/c (assuming you dont want that a/c syncing ) You can also install without a key & leave it un-activated . :-)	1101 (13337)
