I want to convert a microsoft connected windows account to a local one on Windows 10 Enterprise. I've already talked with microsoft's support about the issue and they responded that it's impossible to do so, an answer I haven't quite accepted. So I'm wondering, is there a way? What if I delete my MS account? Would that delink it from my windows account?

EDIT: I know the process is rather simple usually, but the regular "Disconnect" / "Convert to local account" buttons seem to not exist.

EDIT: The device is not connected to any domain and, as far as I am aware, I should have full control over it.

    Possible duplicate of [Disconnect Microsoft account from my local account](https://superuser.com/questions/716107/disconnect-microsoft-account-from-my-local-account). Process is similar enough that this counts as a duplicate – Ramhound Jul 25 '17 at 12:28
  • @Ramhound This is windows 10, while the process for Windows 10 **Home** is similar to the one in the thread you linked, I am using Windows 10 **Enterprise** where the "Disconnect" button is nowhere to be found. – White Autumn Jul 25 '17 at 12:34

    I understand your using Windows 10 Enterprise. If this PC is connected to a domain then you might not have the permissions to create a local user account. I promise you typically the ability to disconnect and create a local account is there on Windows 10 Enterprise – Ramhound Jul 25 '17 at 12:37
  • @Ramhound It is not connected to any domain, I should have full authority over the device. – White Autumn Jul 25 '17 at 12:40
  • What build of Windows 10 are you using? – Ramhound Jul 25 '17 at 12:56

Sadly, I could not solve it without creating a new account. The account was probably corrupted in some way?
