Hey Marqui. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

See here how to change a Local Account to a Microsoft Account: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5375-switch...

If that's not possible then create a new Microsoft Account in Windows 10 in Settings > Accounts > Family and Other Users. Sign in and move your files over, then delete the old account when ready.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
