Wow! I am floored! I cannot wrap my head around this one! Thank goodness my credentials are the same for both O365 and Windows!
So, that gets me thinking . . . what happens if I should tell it the computer is a company one and follow through as if it were, but since my credentials are the same for both, would I get your error!
Not a logical thought, but sort of out of the box . . .
An Office 365 Home or Personal account is and remains as an MS Account. If you are using Office 365 Home, the email can therefore be used as Windows sign in account since Windows 8 without any additional steps.
If you have an Office 365 for Business or Enterprise account (name@company_or_school_or_organization.com) and you would like to use it as a sign in account in Windows, until now you have had to create a new MS Account using that email. In this case, until now, you have then been presented this selection when trying to log in to Microsoft services because the sign in process to Microsoft services finds two providers (domains) for the same email address:If you want to check your emails and use the other OfB or OfE services (company / school / organization Sharepoint, intranet etc.), you select Work or School account, if you want to sign in to services using the MS Account you select it in which case your company / organization services are not available and you cannot get your email.
Now the Build 10041 brought this option to use the OfB or OfE account as a Windows sign in account, there's no need to create an MS Account using that email anymore. However, whatever I try, I am not able to sign in to Windows using this option.
The feature is very clearly there, it's just that it is not working.

Oh, I see. This particular feature is for business rather than for the consumer. Which is probably why I've never even thought of it. :) Obviously, it's more convenient for the business arena to have this feature.
Thank you Edwin, but it doesn't change anything for me. You may have some other registry key set as well??
Today i change the update settings from Slow to speed and i was given the chance to upgrade from 9926 build to 10041,i upgraded on my HP DV-5,and DV6 and everything was a success, i do not notice any bugs so far,but then again i mostly browse and do live streaming,it seems my Laptop HP machines have been receiving all builds very well,maybe there any bugs but i can't find them.
