Windows 10: Unable To Add Microsoft Account To Computer On Domain

Trying to associate my Microsoft account to my home computer that is joined to my home domain using Server 2019 essentials.


I go to Settings -> Accounts -> E-Mail & Accounts

Then click on "Add a Microsoft Account"


I'm able to enter my e-mail address, and password in the window that opens, but then it just hangs on the screen that says "Just a moment..." with the spinning circles.


I have also tried to log into the windows store by choosing "Sign In" and it says "We encountered an error. Please try signing in again later.".


Now, I did recently use ProfileWizard to migrate my profile on the computer was using Server 2012 essentials, and upgraded. I'm guessing this is what screwed something up. But, I would think I just need to reset something somewhere.


as a note, I am able to add my daughter's account, so it seems to be something specificially with my account having been previously associated, and then migrated.


any help would be greatly appreciated, I really enjoyed all the tie-ins and links that I get by having my Microsoft Account linked to my local Windows account.


-Thanks

:)

Domain admin account as built-in admin account


I just upgraded two brand new pc's from Win 7 to Win 10. Computers were already added to the domain in Win 7 and I was logged into the domain administrator account when I did the upgrade to Win 10. Now when I am logged in with the domain administrator account, I can't open Edge. It says "This app can't open. Microsoft Edge can't be opened using the Built-in Administrator account. Sign in with a different account and try again."

How do I get the local "Administrator" account to be the Built-in administrator account?

The list of user accounts are:
admin (local admin account I made in Win 7)
Administrator (I assume local administrator account that is automatically created)
administrator.AESSEINVLTD (domain admin account I am logged in with)
Default.migrated
Public.
