I looked at the tutorial on how to switch to a Microsoft account instead of a local account. I have actually already tried this and mentioned somewhere before in this forum post. When I get to step two in this tutorial, I click "Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead," but nothing happens; this I have already tried, you should be able to see that in the video I posted.
I found another forum post, it seems I am not the only one having these issues:
I tried one of the fixes mentioned:

net share concfg*C:\\/grant:useraccountname,full
net user useraccountname
Now there's a new user account created with the name: "useraccountname" and password: "mypassword".
For me it was possible to switch to the new account and in the new account I was able to sign in to my Microsoft account.
Unfortunately, the command: net share concfg*C:\\/grant:useraccountname,full did not work for me and I could not figure out what else to try. What I was able to do with this fix was create another user account. I logged into that account hoping that the problems would be fixed. Unfortunately even on that account, I had the same problems that I am having on this one.

I have ran into this issue as well, it seems this is a bug for those that upgraded from windows 7 from what I have gather so far. From having searched all over different sites there does not seem to be any type of known fix for this at all. Other then not being able to use the features Microsoft is touting and makes windows 10 great can't be used at all. That said the upgrade went perfectly fine for me and Windows 10 has been great other then this annoying bug.
