I feel like a crazy person, trying to convince strangers on the internet that I really did manage to install Windows with a local account. Why? I'm not even sure. This isn't how I imagined my future when I was a kid.

You can take the win here, I probably used an obscure regional version from 1998 or something. To quote the OP: It's not possible to install a local account any more

I think myself and the other dude are trying to help you see that theres no contest to be winning here

Yes, you're right, the other person had a very helpful tone indeed. My mistake.

I appreciate that I came on to see you say this, because I was about to reply quoting you saying I can take the win, saying I wasn't trying to compete and maybe that was an issue.

FWIW, I don't doubt at all that you could create a local account. I have yet to move to 11 from 10 for my VM setup and want to avoid doing so as long as possible, so I've been sort of tracking the issue, as that they may remove it permanently is a slight concern and interest to me.
