Yeah it's not always that simple. You haven't been around long enough to see the stuff that can go wrong with installing Windows. For example I recently had Windows refuse to see both SSDs in a machine. All because of something called Intel VMD. Took me a handful of attempts before I found the problem.
When Windows installs work they are fairly simple if long, but when they don't work oh boy.
Also they disabled that for Windows Home.
Some Lemmy users are actually just wankers. I would like it if you all stopped. It's especially great when I have people like you who probably aren't even experienced in tech.
They disabled the local account for offline devices on all versions including IOT. The solution is to hit shift + f10 for CMD and then running OOBE\BYPASSNRO which enables that feature. But 90% of people setting up windows for the first time just create an account or use one they already have. Not that it's better to do it that way. Just that it isn't that difficult.
