What These Instructions Have Just Done:
We have bypassed the part of the installation that asks for region, keyboard, network setup etc. This will all have to be corrected.
Go in and select the correct region, enter your network details and begin manually running Windows Updates.
What we have done is open up the (normally inactive) Administrator account to be able to manually add user details and progress with signing in.
It is strongly advised completing the above Step 5 and marking the Administrator account as inactive once you have gained access. You may need this account intact at a later date, or your tech support people may need this left alone to carry out future repairs.
