Complete Android Setup without a Google account

[Android Central Question]

I am trying to set up a number of Lenovo tab M10's and during the "Finish setting up your Android device" wizard, I am forced to enter a Google account. There doesn't seem to be any way to bypass entering a Google account. This seems to be part of Android core rather than a Lenovo thing.

I keep getting a notification nag and can't permanently dismiss the setup, only ask to be reminded later or tomorrow.

Is there any way of completely dismissing the setup without having to enter a Google account?

Thanks.
