iirc it is possible, but I recall you needed to click unobvious buttons or just do it while offline and connect only after that

  It used to be a sneaky button, but last time I installed there was no way to do it without disconnecting from the Internet. If you're connected, you are not presented an option to create a local account, even in a way that's hard to find.

    Last time I did it, the trick was to begin logging in or creating a new online account (forget which way), and from there you could actually change your mind and create a local account.

    It looks like they removed it from Home but not Pro. https://i.imgur.com/vxs03rC.png https://i.imgur.com/vxs03rC.png Another difference: Cortana talks you through the installation on Home but not Pro. After years of installing Pro that was a bit of a shock.
