Yah, had to do a 2013 Home and Student re-install last week and it certainly needed a MS account.
Right PITA setting these up for people. By the time they figure out what username they want, the password, the security questions, DOB (his or hers), what they had for breakfast, etc.. well there goes 30 minutes.
Frig off and let me install Office dammit!
