Upgrade to Win 10 with local account.

[ashmelev75]

So last night I've upgraded my retail Win 7 (upgrade) to WIndows 10.

1) Got a new SSD.
2) Did a clean install of Win 7 Retail (Upgrade Edition), edited registry and activated Windows.
3) Downloaded ESD from here https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3ee1gx/windows_10_10240_esd_download_here/
4) Converted ESD to ISO using this guide and created a bootable (not needed) USB drive with Win 10 install.

5) Ran setup.exe from the USB drive, selected clean install
6) Installed Win 10. Control Panel / System shows Windows 10 Pro, Activated.

So no MSA account is needed for the free upgrade.
