How to install/upgrade to Windows 8.1 RTM without a Microsoft account (via: Super User)

I’ve bitten by this too many times, so here is the link: How to install/upgrade to Windows 8.1 RTM without a Microsoft account.
And the steps:
- Almost af the bottom of the “Sign in to your Microsoft account” screen is a seemingly disabled “Create a new account” clickable area.
Click it! - Then you get into a new screen with a deceiving “Create a Microsoft account” title, but also a “Sign in without a Microsoft account” clickable area.
Click there. - Now create a new local account that is not bound to any email address.
Thanks magicandre1981 for the pictures in the linked post: very helpful!
