Windows 10: Adding Microsoft account fails

I have a new computer and am trying to use the Microsoft store. When I try to log in it asks for my Microsoft account. I enter the account and password and then I get a message on my phone to press the number on my phone that I see on my computer screen. I press it and so far all seems to be going well. But then I get the error on the computer:But it doesn't sign into the app, when I try to download I get a request to sign into an account and when I sign into my MS account I get this error. So I try to use the "create new account " option instead, and it immediate jumps to this error:I have

Adding a Device to Microsoft Account Requires a MS Account User

I noticed that my newer Windows 10 computer had not been added to my list of devices on my Microsoft Account so I attempted to add it, only to find out that apparently the computer must be logged in to a Microsoft account user in order to do this. I only have local accounts set up on my computers and I don't particularly want a Microsoft account user set up as I will never use it. With the latest Win10 versions apparently Microsoft wants all computers to have a Microsoft account user set up as they make it very difficult to set up a local user as the first account. Does anyone have any way around this? I am not sure what listing this device on your account buys you.
