Windows 10: Setting up new surface with work account

I can't understand why this is so difficult.I'm seeing a new computer, I try to sign in as a work account. Somehow I can't simply py my email and password, but it asks me for a security key on a usb. I don't have it and after an hour trying to understand what it is and how to get one I am none the wiser.The only other option was to create a local account. In account settings, in front of the local account there's a clickable link stating 'Sigb in with a Microsoft account instead'. Yes, please I click on, type my email and it replies that the account does not exist. It the old shenanigans Micro

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Unable to set up new computer with windows 11 work account

Hi Jose,

I followed your suggested steps but the same thing still happens when I complete the out of the box experience setup.

By the way, the only reason the device was even in the device list was because (as a troubleshooting step) I tried creating a local account and then connecting to my work account to verify that the windows install was working properly. So I'm not surprised I still got the same result
