In addition to what the other user said, you can force it to make a local account by entering a "bad" email address. When I was regularly doing end user reinstalls, id regularly use "fuck@you.com" as my email, and for some reason, that account wasn't usable so it just had me setup a local account.

Will definitely file these methods away for the future. Microsoft just keeps getting skeezier and they didn't do this shit the last time I had to install Windows. This new laptop is the start of a transition to as close to 100% Linux as I can get.
