Glad I found one and used it. If I didn't need Windows for my classes, I'd be on Linux already.

I found it because the wifi was stuck off and if I couldn't turn it on unless I set up windows... Which dumbly requires internet.

So once that comes to pass, someone in my situation would be SOL.

Is this about Windows Home edition? I don't need to do anything hacky to get a local account but I also don't use Home edition.

The workarounds people come up with to not make an MS account seem crazy to me. What difference does it really make if its a local account or not? You are still using windows so clearly you are ok with everything else, but the account is too much?
