Am I missing something? Doesn't Microsoft provide keys associated with your accounts? I had to unlock mine once and I just had to access it on my account page.

Right well the fellow on Reddit got kicked out of their account by Microsoft.

And if you dont remember your Microsoft account because you originally had a local account on win10?

You have to sign in to get converted to a Microsoft account. It doesn't magically give you a Microsoft account without your login info.

Go through the steps to recover that account through Microsoft, I would reckon.
