Hello All!!

During the the Windows 8.1 install I am asked to sign in with a Microsoft e-mail account (See screen shot). After doing so it creates a local user account. Becasue I am using this as a build and captiure ref image I really dont want that e-mail / local account to come up when the end user signs in. I am trying to make this image so when a new pc is deployed the end user does not get confused. actually I really don't want it all. For the sake of a nice clean image does anyone have any thoughts on how to get rid of it?

Thanks,

Phillip

Hi,

You can skip signing in with a Microsoft Account by pressing "Create a new account" and on the next screen you can select "sign in without a Microsoft Account"
