Windows 8 and 8.1 require a different setup process than the predecessors. http://www.howtogeek.com/188252/everything-you-need-to-know-about-signing-into-windows-8.1/
You have to set up an account, either a Microsoft or a local account. Microsoft accounts are online accounts. Local accounts are the traditional style of Windows user account. Your user account name and password are stored only on your computer. To use OneDrive, desktop settings sync, or other account-based features, you need a Microsoft account rather than a local user account. You can change your account choice later but you must set up one or the other.
How do you set up an account? By the ADD USER function. As I am the primary person using and configuring my computer, I make my account an administrators account.
