First, switching built-in admin to Microsoft account is possible only in one scenario: Windows 7 user using built-in admin account as user account upgrades to Windows 10, and in OOBE setup selects to sign in with Microsoft account instead of local account.
If this user setups Windows 10 with normal user account, not switching the Windows 7 existing built-in admin account to Windows 10 Microsoft account, it's no longer possible to switch built-in admin to Microsoft accounts. The option is simply missing:
Built-in admin account really should not be used as daily user account. It's simple like that.
It seems that many of those users thinking they know all the risks, "familiar with the dangers", stating they know what they are doing really do not know enough. I cannot see how an issue caused by doing something that Microsoft has warned against for years, using built-in admin as normal user account, can be Microsoft's fault?
You only "remain trapped" when and if you have from beginning done against clear instructions. Windows, whatever version is meant to be used and administered with a local admin account, built-in account being enabled and used only on special circumstances.
Only solution for this issue caused by users themselves is to go back to Windows Seven, create a local admin account, disable built-in admin, sign in to local admin and then upgrade to Windows 10, or alternatively clean install Windows 10.
For me, this sounds just funny:
Yes, I know I have done something that a user should never do, I know Microsoft tells it clearly, but I decided I know better and now I have an issue. Microsoft's fault, they should fix it however wrong and against instructions I use Windows!
