    Cannot link/add my Microsoft Account to Local Account

    Hello Ken,

    Im using Win10 Build 1607 with all latest update.

    I also run all related troubleshooters:
    • Windows Update
    • Store Apps (says i have to login in my microsoft account but thats the problem, i can't)
    • Microsoft Accounts

    No Problem found. Also the suggestions from Microsoft didnt helped.

    Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

    This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?

    The troublesome steps are:

    3) Remove original Microsoft linked account

    4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

    I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

    Any ideas?
