Open the Settings App
Go to Accounts - Family and Other People
Click 'Add someone else to this PC'
At the bottom, choose 'I don't have this person's sign in Information'
On the next page, click 'Add a user without a Microsoft Account'
That should work !

Create a Local Account instead of a Microsoft (email) Account: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...
You can later change it to a MS Account, or vice versa. http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-tip-swi...
