Windows 10 install needing domain - account

Hello Everyone,
I installed Windows 10 1809 on a laptop from our Microsoft volume license, and this time I thought why not connect to the internet during the install. (bad move) after that, it will not let me create a local account.
also, I try using my Microsoft account, it kept telling me a bad password.
Well my Microsoft account, and my ‘work or school domain account’ for O365 use the same email address, but they are different accounts with different passwords.
The setup took the password for my domain account, but it had to send a text code to my phone before it would continue.
This computer was not joined to any domain.
I’m lost as to why this install went this way.
This was a clean install, on a laptop that didn’t have a windows OS on it. (it did at one time so I was still compliant)
I can only guess this has something to do with the new licensing Microsoft will be pushing for CAMSA 2.0
anyway, any idea why the install would not take my Microsoft account, the one I use to login to the volume license site to download the ISO, but would take my domain account on a computer that is not on the domain, and required security verification?
Thanks a lot
Please suggest me

Hello @Palmer

Yes, you can use just your domain admin account to install the software on all your PC. your users will have to logon and when they try and use office 2013, it will ask them for their credentials which will be used to activate their software.
