Windows 10: Activating Windows 10, Unable to Add Account

I've been struggling to activate Windows on my Windows 10 laptop. Under the activation tab in settings, I should click "add an account" in order to link my Microsoft account. However, there is no option to do so. The only things I can click are "troubleshoot," "change product key," "get more info about activation," "finding your product key," "get help" and "give feedback." Everything I've found online says that in order to have this "add an account" option, I must be signed in as an administrator with my Microsoft account, which I am. How can I solve this problem?

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

Yeah they blacklisted the insider keys at RTM, so u need to activate it again. They're using KMS server activation, so there's only handful of keys.

If you don't have any luck I can show another quicker method...lol

 

Windows 10 Activation (Insider)

How long did you wait for activation?
When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
However, it did, finally, activate.
