Windows 10 - Not able to sign in with microsoft account

[prakashe]

Hey Guys,

Need a help.

I recently installed windows 10 preview. I was on Windows 7 and the same account was carried over to windows 10. now when i try "Sign in with a microsoft account intead" it shows the following error.



Can figure out whats the problem.

Can you sign in using the old windows 7 credentials?

I am thinking you just need to associate the user account with your Windows account. Try creating a brand new admin user profile and follow the steps using the windows account credentials.
