Windows 10: Device is not linked to Microsoft account, Microsoft Store doesn't allow to install a program

Hi there,


I've tried to install the Windows File Recovery tool from the following link

https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/p/app/9n26s50ln705?activetab=pivotverviewtab


Windows offered me to install the program directly from Microsoft Store. However as can be seen from below screenshot, by some reason Windows is unable to link my device to my Microsoft account. Even though I tried to do it from my admin account, which is linked to my Microsoft account.

The copy of my Windows is properly licensed, and I've been using it for a number of years. So I dont understand the message and what it prompts me to do. I'd appreciate some assistance.


Best regards.

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
