Hi,
I would suggest you to check the status if Windows is activated.
a) Press
Windows key + W.
b) Type
Activation and press Enter.
Method 1: Refer to the link I would suggest you to run the
Microsoft Accounts troubleshooter and check,
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/create-user-account
Then try to switch from Local Account to the Microsoft Account.
Method 2: Disable third-party Security Software,
a) On your Computer screen Task Bar next to System Clock.
b) You will see the third-party Security Software Icon.
c) Click on the third-party Security Software Icon, you will see a pop up.
d) In that pop and select the option to disable, click on it.
Now the third-party Security Software will be disabled.
Important Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to
install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 3: Boot the computer in Clean Boot and try to switch to Microsoft Account and check,
Perform Clean Boot.
To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows 8 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.
b) In the
‘Run’ window type ’MSCONFIG’ and click ‘Ok’.
c) On the
