Je voudrais create a user on Windows 10 that is just a username and a password, no email, no MS communication.
Reason? No particular reason. I don't feel like providing an email, or creating an email account. None of Microsoft's business and I am quite comfortable with assuming the risks wrt to recovery in case a password is forgotten or the like.
Is this still possible? I looked in Settings/Accounts/Family and other people. Add a Family Member or Add someone else both seem stubborn in asking for an email, not just a user name.
Je sais there must be some way, par exemple I set up a MS SQL Server account in the past and it probably doesn't have an email. Je viens de don't see any obvious way to do this in Settings/Accounts, which is where I expect this type of configuration to take place.
J'ai build 15063, Pro edition.
Do J'ai to provide an email for a local user on Windows 10 Pro?

It's possible (J'ai un couple non-domain users, good "insurance").
Process is pretty simple, once you've seen it once:
- Open Settings->Accounts
- Under "**Accounts**" -> cliquez sur "**Family and Other People**"
- Under "**Other People**" -> cliquez sur "**Add Someone Else to this PC**"
- The dialog changes, cliquez sur "**Je n'ai pas this person's sign-in information**"
- The dialog changes again, cliquez sur "**Add a user without a Microsoft Account**"
- Add the username/password credentials
That's it, you're done, the Setting page should take you back to "User Management(Family and other People)" now, and the non-domain account will be under the "Other People" section.
