Martinezipo and anyone who comes across this post. Simply disconnect your network cable or disable your wifi adapter if you connected to a wifi network. Hold Shift + F10 for the command prompt to appear now type

netsh interface show interface

After this pay attention to the interface name for your wireless adapter:

On mine the wifi interface name is: Wi-Fi.

Replace Wi-Fi with your interface name.

netsh interface set interface Wi-Fi disable

Press enter and now click Sign-In and it will let you create an account versus login in with email.

Don’t forget to enable your interface once in Windows.

So thanks!

Same here. This worked for me and it gave the option to continue without internet. The OOBE\BYOASSNRO did not work. It just rebooted.
