    Hello,

    No worries. On that Microsoft 365 page, do not choose the big Start trial or Confirm button. Look for the small link that says No thanks, Skip for now, Maybe later, or Continue without subscription. It is often at the bottom left or under the main button.

    Click that, then confirm if you are asked, and Windows setup will continue so you can finish creating your account and reach the desktop. You can always install Microsoft 365 later from the Microsoft Store or office.com if you decide you want it.

    If you do not see any option to skip, tell me the exact text you see on that screen and I will guide you.

    To close the confirm subscription page while setting up your Windows 10 Surface Pro, you can simply close the window or tab that is displaying the subscription confirmation. If you are unable to close it using the usual methods, you can try the following:

    1. Press Alt + F4: This keyboard shortcut will close the currently active window.
    2. Use Task Manager: If the page is unresponsive, you can open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc, find the browser or app that is open, and select End Task.
    3. Restart your device: If all else fails, restarting your Surface Pro will close any open applications, including the subscription page.

    After closing the page, you can continue with the setup process without confirming a subscription if you do not wish to subscribe at this time.
