I bought a new laptop which came preinstalled with Win10.

Had to get help from a friend to figure out how to bypass Microsoft's insistence that I create an online account just to be able to use my computer. He told me to create a local administrator account, which allowed me to create a normal user account, and ultimately complete the setup without needing to log into a Microsoft online account.

The laptop isn't used for much, but my desktop is another matter... so glad I didn't decide to "try" the free Win10 upgrade there.
