last time I installed windows 10 this wasn't required - you just had to figure out which button took you past it. Maybe its changed since

It has, you need to disable internet access to have a local account.

I'm currently using two laptops, both running Win 10 with local-only accounts, and I've never had to disable internet access to do so.

Not on Windows 11 Home, from what I understand.

I believe the option is only shown if you are offline, so you need to disconnect from the internet.

As said in the thread it (currently) works if you do not setup internet until after the installation completes. If you set up internet before, you end up doong a full re-install.
