In this article, we will see how to install Windows 10 Creators Update without a Microsoft Account. In Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft Account is the default way of signing in. This means that the OS requires your Outlook.com, Hotmail, MSN, or Live ID email address and password to sign-in to Windows. It is still possible to sign in using a local account that does not involve internet-based credentials.
To install Windows 10 Creators Update without a Microsoft account, do the following.
Start installing Windows 10 from a bootable USB drive or your installation DVD. Follow the on-screen instructions until Setup asks you "How would you like to setup?".
There you need to click "Set up for personal use".
