Windows 10: Microsoft Account Issue

I have just bought a new Windows 10 PC and used my Microsoft Account when setting it up. I tried to set a pin number but it kept saying my account had an issue. On closer inspection it appears that my account is not an adult one! I'm not sure how that happened.

Can I change the account or create a new one and lose the old one from this PC?

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
