In this article we’ll show you how to install Windows 10 without Microsoft Live account.

How to Install Windows 10 without Microsoft Live Account?

  1. Install Windows 10 as you would usually do. When the installation comes to the part of prompting you to sign in with Microsoft account, click on the “Skip this step” link.
