Windows 10: Sync not working even with disconnecting school account

So I have a blue Dell Inspiron M5110 from 2011, and I wanted to sync settings and stuff when I get a new computer someday, but then it will say this: Sync is not available for your account. Contact your system administrator to resolve this. I've even removed my school account and it's still saying it. The account I have is my personal account. I want to sync it. Thanks!

Sync issue

Did you follow the steps in all of the tutorials? None of them suggest to get rid of Office 365. One of them should solve your problem.

What often works is to create a different Admin account from the one used by the Student listed in Settings > Accounts > Work & School. The new Admin account should then be allowed to sync. Otherwise the Student account may block sync until it's highlighted
and disconnected there. This does not get rid of Office, it just disconnects it from the Admin account.
