During setup, tell it you want to join a domain. This brings you to local account creation. Way easier than what the article says. They keep moving that around to make it harder to find though.

It should be noted that you only get a domain join option with the Pro version.

On Pro you can select English (World) as the region and you don't get Windows Store and other crap installed. Just a nice clean Windows install. Haven't got a Home ISO to spin up a VM to test if that skips the online account creation/login though but I'll suspect it does.
