Windows 10: NEED HELP!! Can no longer login to Microsoft 10

Hello, I just graduated from my academic institution, and my windows account was associated with my academic email. During my time as a graduate student I installed windows 10 on my personal desktop, because I was working in computational biology, and I often worked on my personal desktop. Now, since I graduated, my university has deactivated my email and account. This in turn has caused me to be locked out of windows 10 on my personal computer. What should I do? HELPThanks, Harry
