I am trying to setup a new Windows 8 computer that is going to be a gift. I need to go through the setup procedure so I can install some software which is also part of the gift. How can I do this without having to use a Microsoft account, or at least with leaving the least amount of account remnants for the new user?

unless you do an upgrade and not a clean install, i dont think there'll be a problem with remnants , and you dont really need a microsoft account to install windows, its sth you set up later , just do a clean install and format any other partitions of the disk and ur gift is finishd .
