  I don't understand the question. How did you "link" the account to your Microsoft account? How can it limit you if you have never used it? How do you log on to your account?

  The other possibility is that the OP used the Sign in with a Microsoft account instead option on the Accounts page of Settings.

  This is ambiguous and can cause confusion. It does not really give you a Microsoft account instead of your local account. It converts your existing account into a Microsoft account. You do not have two accounts - you still have only one but it is now a Microsoft account. The only way to fix it is to do the operation in reverse. Click on the Sign in with a local account instead and convert your account back to where it was.

 If you want to have two accounts, go to Control Panel>User Accounts. Click on Manage another account and then Add a new user in PC settings. On the next screen, select Add someone else to this PC. If you have a local account, you can set up a Microsoft account here. If you have a Microsoft account, set up a local account with a different name.

  To force it to create a local account, select I don't have this person's sign-in information and then Add a user without a Microsoft account.

   I always have at least two accounts set up on a PC - a Microsoft account and a local account.
