Windows 10: Windows Server 2012 R2 GPM>windows setting> security setting >Account Policy missing

Hello,Ive been trying to figure out this issue with my GPO's, What I initially wanted to do was create a simple password policy. I go to the GPMC and edit the Default domain policy and open Computer configurations >windows setting> security setting >and Account Policy is missing.However i can see the Default domain policy settings specifications with everything im looking to change under settings. I dont know what can be the issue if its appearing under the settings.

Convert Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation to Windows Server 2012 R2

I have purchased the product key of Windows Server 2012 R2. Now the server is on Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation. I found a few links there they explained on how to convert from Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation to Windows Server 2012 R2 with valid product
key. One of the example is this link:

How to activate Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation - Nicolas Ignoto, CTP

Is this a correct way to do? If I follow this step, will my data be erased?

I want to avoid formatting/fresh Windows install because there are some software in the server that we do not know how to backup. We just want to get it activated now, backup will be sorted out later.

IF you want to try seizing the FSMO roles to see if it will help, here is a quick guide (this should be done on the DC you want to keep):

Knowing that this is a DC now I'm really convinced that something is wrong with the AD account for this particular server. It's possible that the promotion to a DC didn't work correctly leaving you with a sort of broken DC.

A reboot is always worth a shot; has that been tried Ahhzz? If it has, then the next step would be to demote this DC and rejoin it to the domain. Once rejoined you can run DCPromo again. Microsoft best practice is to have at least 2 DCs for redundancy.
