    1. Create a new Local Admin account and sign into it:

    https://pureinfotech.com/create-local-administr...

    1. If it works correctly then move your MS account files over in File Explorer via C:\Users. It will grant access to the new Admin account to access your MS account with a green progress bar across the address box which might take a while, then you'll have access to the MS Account User folders. From each one (Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc.) choose Home tab, then Select All, then Copy. Now go to the new account corresponding folder from Explorer bar on left side, from Home tab choose paste. Do this for each User folder.
    2. Now you can either delete your old MS account in Settings > Accounts > Family & Other Users, or if you want to keep it as a backup account, change it to a Local Account in Settings > Accounts > Your Info > Sign in with a Local Account Instead. This frees up your MS account email address to be moved to your new account.
    3. Restart PC, sign into new account, change it to your MS account in Settings > Accounts > Your Info > Sign in with a MS Instead.

    Let me know how this works.

    Make sure the Security Info is up to date first in your MS account online in case it wants to send a code to verify your account:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12428/...

    Click the link in Accounts > Your Info shown in your second screenshot under System Settings to "Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead"

    Put in your MS Account email and let it convert to MS Account.

    When it asks for the Local account password "one last time" be sure to put in the Local account pw and not the MS account password.
