Wndows 10 Not leaving Workgroup To Join Domain

I have a new PC and am trying to join it to our domain. It displays under network and sharing that it is in the domain, but when I go to system properties and computer name then join the computer or change its name it is listed in a workgroup. If I try to change the workgroup to our domain it says to remove it from the workgroup. The new PC is in active directory on our domain server. How do I remove it from the workgroup?

Windows build 19042.870.

 

Windows 'domain'?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your concern in the Microsoft Community. Follow these steps to find the domain name:

• Press the Windows key + R then choose System.
• The name of your computer will be listed as the Full computer name.
• The domain your computer belongs to will be listed as the Domain. If, instead of Domain, you see Workgroup, your computer
  is not a member of any domain.

If you have any questions or things you'd like to clarify, feel free to ask.
