Logging into Windows with a O365 account (Charity)

Question

Have a Windows 11 Home edition laptop that i am tyring to log in to with an E2 O365 not for profit ID. The 365 account works fine with web apps etc. However unable to log into laptop with this ID (says account is not a Microsfot account when trying to create a new account on the laptop). Read a number of forums and was told i needed windows pro, so have updated to Pro...still have the same issue.

Tenant is permitted for "Users may join devices to Azure AD" set to All

I can however create a local account on the laptop and then add a work/school account, this seems to work fine but i am still logged in locally.

Please, please, please is there a way to log into the laptop with the office 365 E2 account without logging into the laptop locally first. Its really confusing for the colleagues using the device

thanks

Darren.
