Thanks for the reply. Microsoft should give an individual the ability to setup their own PC the way they would like to have it. Requiring a MS account is not necessary.
Thanks for your help.

There is no supported method to setup without a Microsoft account. (I only operate my computer in a supported manner.)
Once Windows has finished installing, you never have to look at your Microsoft account again, if you don't want to.

If you don't see "Offline account" option, you need to continue with Microsoft account, as the requirement may be mandatory.
