Dont want to setup a Microsoft account

I have a Toshiba laptop and the update to 8.1 wants a password and to set up a user account with Microsoft email account...I don't want to setup a Microsoft account I want just a password only... How does one go by setting this up?

For what it is worth, I suggest setting up a Microsoft account.

It makes installing future updates easier.

Click Create Account
On the next page, ignore all the textboxes to enter your names and details etc - at the bottom is a small link that says "Continue using my existing account."

I just make sure it's disconnected from the internet when installing and it automatically creates a Local Account instead. But I always do a clean install, so I don't know whether this will work with an update.

However, if you look at the screenshots in the following link, it shows that you can go to "Create a new account" then hidden at the bottom is a link to "Sign in without a Microsoft account."
