Martinezipo and anyone who comes across this post. Simply disconnect your network cable or disable your wifi adapter if you connected to a wifi network. Hold Shift + F10 for the command prompt to appear now type
netsh interface show interface
After this pay attention to the interface name for your wireless adapter:
On mine the wifi interface name is: Wi-Fi.

netsh interface set interface Wi-Fi disable
Press enter and now click Sign-In and it will let you create an account versus login in with email.
Don’t forget to enable your interface once in Windows.

So thanks!
