Just gonna leave this here. Do with it what you will.

While that's a good site to be aware of in general, it does nothing to help with this issue. All that site does is activate Windows, it does not allow you to make a local user account.

It also has the ability to activate Windows 10 long-term support. Not a permanent solution, but lets you kick that can down the road.

It does provide you with access to the IoT LTSC or LTSC editions which I believe would still allow you to skip the need to set up a Microsoft account.

I could be wrong on that detail, it’s been a while.
