Windows 10: Not giving me the option to change PIN number to sign into computer.

Hello. I need to change my PIN when signing into the laptop. I've tried to change it by going to the Windows icon, selecting settings, clicking on Accounts, then selecting sign-in options. It will bring up all the options to sign-in, but the PIN option says, "not available". Can anyone help me make this option "Available"? Any help would be much appreciated!

Various sites I have visited indicate that as I have already set a PIN I should have the option to "Change" or "I forgot my PIN". like this:





Can someone explain why there is a difference please?
