We’ll talk about privacy a bit more later. But here’s a reason to keep Cortana around: You can actually launch Amazon’s Alexa via Cortana! You’re also free to fiddle with the privacy settings (of course, you change these in Windows proper, as well).
Cortana and Windows Search are now separate, and Cortana is far less important than she once was. Likewise, it’s up to you whether you want to enable Cortana. Do so! It takes literally just a few seconds. If Windows Hello is enabled on your PC, you’ll have a chance to set it up in the OOBE. (Here’s how to set up Windows 10 with a local account.) If a local account is what you want, however, disconnecting from the internet seems to help immensely. The language and the UI to do so appears to change somewhat randomly. Microsoft has made it harder to enable local accounts, however. If you enter your Microsoft account, you can also set up Office automatically, if you’re subscribed to Office 365. If your PC has a Windows Hello fingerprint reader or depth camera, you’ll be prompted to set it up, with a PIN code for backup. You can use a local account and password instead, however, if you want a simpler experience.
Entering (or creating) a Microsoft account is recommended, and allows your preferences to “follow” you from PC to PC, create a OneDrive cloud-storage account, and more.
Your major choices boil down to these: whether to enter or create a Microsoft password, whether to enable Cortana, and choosing your privacy settings. Personalization begins with entering your name. Generally, you’ll be able to handle most of the OOBE questions without any hand-holding you’ll be asked for your preferred language and keyboard layout, to connect to Wi-Fi, and so on.
