During our test methods, we found that the Windows 10 installation process may or may not give you the option to create a local (non-Microsoft) offline account. If you don't want Microsoft to have access to your data, don't connect your computer to the internet until the installation has fully completed.

This makes sure that you can finish the installation process with a local account and don't have to make a Microsoft account to do so.
