    local accounts still work, even on home edition
    ads in the start menu work the same way as they do in windows 10 (pinned tiles that download actual apps from the store, you just need to unpin 'em)
    I still don’t have any of the ai stuff, and pretty sure they should be controllable with a simple group policy

      Local accounts only work with a really convoluted method during install, involving physically disconnecting your Ethernet cable and running a command in the OOBE.

        you don’t need to do anything convoluted or remove your internet connection, you just need to run a single command before doing anything (which will cause your oc to reboot and the offline option to unlock)

          Huh. The guide I read said you had to run the command then disconnect the internet at a certain point in the installation. Thanks!

            it worked for me even with an internet connection, but you probably should still disconnect the internet while installing windows, you’ll get less bloatware
