Cannot Verify Microsoft Account

After Clicking verify I am greeted with this message even though my internet is working perfectly

Where you asked to Verify?  If it was for your Microsoft sign in Account you need to be in Your info not Sync.

Click on Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.

You will be asked to create a PIN – do so.
Once you set up your Account, go back to Your Info and select Verify.
Next, you can select different ways to verify your account, such as a text message.
Once complete, these actions should help you fix 0x800704cf error when trying to sync your Windows PC with applications.

Ive tried to make a pin and it gave me an error message. It gives gives me the option to retry but the error repeated so I was forced to click skip for now. Also prior to this incident i was using a local account and I had a working PIN but it reset when I logged in with my current account (I am Oliver Grant1 btw)
