I recently bought a sony vaio and logged in as a local user, I now want to switch to microsoft account but when i follow the instructions to change PC setting and input my outlook email I keep getting 'Task cannot be completed at this time.' I am getting this issue for three days now. What can I do. P.S I do not have any network problems.

Hi,

Please first check if the service "Microsoft Account Sign in Assistant" is running fine, if not, please restart to check the results.

I would like to confirm if your Microsoft account was activated. Please check the account by website: account.live.com.

In addition, please test if another Microsoft account can work on your computer.

If you use Wifi to connect to Internet, please try wired connection.

Let me know the results.
