  1. Not able to add work account


    One team member had windows 11 home installed, but we want to add a work account and use it as a work device. We upgraded to Windows 11 pro - paying for it. But when you are logged in, and go to accounts, and then add an account, it won't let us add the MS Work account. Says it doesn't exist even though it does. So you click on create one, and then add it in. but then you get an error saying you can't add a work account. so I feel we have upgraded the device and it doesn't work.CAn anyone help?

    :)
