Yeah as someone else said, basically just create an offline account (there will be an option at the lower left of the screen when it's asking you to enter your Microsoft account address, IIRC). Then throughout the process basically just uncheck all the options for various metrics reporting. I believe there are some open source scripts to disable even more stuff, but I haven't tried that myself. Oh also, I seem to recall I had to disable/hide Cortana _after_ the setup, as there was nothing in the initial computer setup that allowed me to turn it off (again, IIRC).
