    Hi! Sorry to hear that you have troubles with this, when you’re in OOBE try this steps:

    1. Press Shift + F10 to launch Command Prompt.
    2. Enable built‑in Administrator: net user Administrator /active:yes
    3. Create a new user with admin rights: net user MyUser MyPassword /add net localgroup administrators MyUser /add
    4. Then restart the setup: cd %windir%\System32\oobe msoobe.exe
    5. After reboot, you might see the regular OOBE flow and be able to set up your own account.
