Windows 10: How do I add an account?

I just got a computer with windows 10 from my dad and I want to add my Microsoft account to it. I’ve gone through the proper channels in settings, settings>accounts>family & others, and whenever I click on “Add a family member” or “Add someone to this PC” all I get is a gray pop up that disappears after a couple seconds. What do I have to do to fix this?

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
