    Can't change local account to a Microsoft account


    I want to change PC login from a local account to a Microsoft account
    The system is Windows 10 Home
    When I go to Accounts I do not see the option 'Sign in with a Microsoft Account'
    What am I missing?
    How do I change a PC login using a local account to using a Microsoft account?

    You don't see this?

    I do not know what the reason might be.

    I suggest you create a new account and make that an MSAccount instead.
    Add Local Account or Microsoft Account - TenForumsTutorials
    Change to Admin account type- TenForumsTutorials - if desired
