Start?
You already have to disconnect form the network to be able to use the "offline account" option in the installer (last I checked, which was like a couple of months ago).
So this has been going on for a while.
Edit (merge the other comment I deleted):
To clarify, this was a Home Edition. I understand that the Pro edition doesn't behave this way.
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoNo you don't : source just set up a dozen win10 PCs

- zrobotics 7y agoNeither you or your parent is incorrect; this behavior is variable. I setup 8 new win10 boxes last week, 2 of them (HP, the others were Dell) required pulling a lan cable to get to the local account setup. I didn't have time to check details to see what was different (I'm not really IT, but small company/many hats) but the local account option didn't appear until the internet was disconnected.
- thedaemon 7y agoWindows 10 Pro, I've installed it about 40 times or more. Domain Join is the option to create a local account. It works, I do it every install, while connected to network.
- saagarjha 7y agoNo, you don’t. Local installs are the smallest option on the screen, but they’re still an option.
- beart 7y agoInstalled Windows 10 Home a few weeks, poked around for 5 minutes searching for an offline option until I gave up. I know it used to be there but they have removed it.
- karatestomp 7y agoI last installed Win10 a few months ago and it was not, until I unplugged the Ethernet cable and went back a couple steps to get it to re-assess things.
- karrotwaltz 7y agoI think it's possible in professional edition but you have to be offline on home edition. (I messed up and installed pro for a home key, so I did it back to back with same ISO)
