  1. Unable to convert to local account | Windows 10 Enterprise


    Greetings,
    I am running Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 1703, OS Build 15063.483 and I'm having trouble converting my MS connected account to a local one, since the button to do so simply isn't there.
    Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

    The computer is not connected to any domain and I have full access to the group policy editor, which I suspect might be the culprit of this problem.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    :)
