    It only offers a Windows account.

    Nothing is simple.

    Pull the network cable before installing.

    Pull the network cable before installing.

    Or in my case don't enable the WiFi.

    Anyway, used a little used Google account and all is working(ish) so far.

    Although the original problem with the power supply seems to have come
    back.

    Cheers

    I use a standard windows account. It means that my PC and laptop stay
    synced. Some stuff is backed up to the cloud. There are advantages.

    I appreciate that it may make it easier for Bill Gates to insert chips
    into my bloodstream, though.
