Hi — I can help. Short version: you can use the Windows Recovery Environment to create a local administrator account (or enable the built‑in Administrator), reboot and sign in locally, then convert the Microsoft account to a local account from Settings. Below are step‑by‑step options and important warnings. If anything is unclear, tell me which step you see or paste the exact message that asks for Internet access.
Important questions before you start

• Do you see your user name on the login screen? Is there a “Sign‑in options” link (for PIN / picture password)?
• Is BitLocker enabled on the machine (did Windows ask you earlier for a recovery key)?
• Do you have another PC or phone to make a Windows 10 USB installer if needed?

Option A — Fast attempt (try cached sign-in / PIN first)

1. At the login screen, click “Sign‑in options” (under the password box).
2. If PIN or picture password is available, try that — cached credentials often allow offline sign‑in and avoid the Internet prompt.

If that fails, use Option B.
Option B — Use WinRE to create a local administrator (works without network)

1. From the login screen click the power icon (lower right). Hold Shift and click Restart.
   • If Shift+Restart doesn’t work, force WinRE by powering on and then holding the power button to force shutdown 2–3 times while Windows is booting; Windows should enter Recovery on next boot.
2. When the blue recovery menu appears choose: Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Command Prompt.
   • If the system is BitLocker‑protected you may be prompted for the recovery key here. If so, you need that key before proceeding.
3. In the Command Prompt create a new local admin account. Type (press Enter after each line):
   • net user LocalAdmin P@ssw0rd! /add
   • net localgroup administrators LocalAdmin /add
     (Replace LocalAdmin and P@ssw0rd! with your preferred username/password. Use a strong password.)
4. Close the Command Prompt and choose Continue → boot normally. At the login screen choose the new LocalAdmin account and sign in using the password you set.

Alternative in the same Command Prompt: enable built‑in Administrator

• net user administrator /active:yes
• net user administrator P@ssw0rd!
  Then reboot and sign in as Administrator. When finished, disable it with net user administrator /active:no.

If you can’t get to WinRE

• Boot from a Windows 10 USB installer, choose Repair your computer → Troubleshoot → Command Prompt and run the same net user commands above.

After you can sign in locally — convert / fix accounts

1. Open Settings → Accounts → Your info.
2. If you are signed in with a Microsoft account and want local: click “Sign in with a local account instead” and follow prompts.
3. Alternatively create another local user: Settings → Accounts → Family & other users → Add someone else to this PC → “I don’t have this person’s sign-in info” → “Add a user without a Microsoft account.”

Cleanup & safety

• If you enabled the built‑in Administrator, disable it when done: net user administrator /active:no.
• To delete the temporary LocalAdmin account when finished: net user LocalAdmin /delete.
• If BitLocker asked for a recovery key earlier, don’t proceed without it — you’ll lose access.

If you want, tell me:

• The exact text of the Internet/verification prompt you see, and
• Whether BitLocker is enabled or whether you have another admin account.

I’ll walk you through the exact commands or the USB creation steps step‑by‑step.

If you can’t sign in because Windows requires a Microsoft account connection and online access isn’t available, you can switch to a local account:

1. Restart your PC and disconnect it from the internet (unplug cable or turn off Wi-Fi).

2. On the login screen, select “Other user” or “Offline account” (if available).

3. If that option isn’t shown, boot into Safe Mode (press Shift + Restart > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings).

4. From Safe Mode, create a new local account and give it administrator rights.

5. Restart normally and log in with your new local account.

Once signed in, you can transfer your files from the old account if needed.
