They try really, really hard to get you to enter a MS/Hotmail/Outlook/etc. account when setting up the OS. I got suckered in the first time and re-installed to get a standard local account just on my machine. It's been a long time, but I remember having to search for some cryptic language that enabled it. You may want to start over.
