    Sign in with a local account instead

    It's irritating that I have to log in to my own laptop with a Microsoft password and I want to turn it off.

    My problem is every answer to this question tells me to go to Accounts > Email and Accounts > Sign in with a local account instead.
    My problem with that is... all of this help info seems to be old because
    this is what my menu looks like and I don't have that option. Help?!?!?
