    Even if you put in a bogus user and pw three times? Not joking, that used to let you get a local account option.

        Shift +F10 (shift+fn+F10 on some laptops) to open a terminal, during the initial setup. Then just type: oobe/bypassnro

        PC will reboot. Don’t have Ethernet connected, don’t connect to WiFi and boom!
