Missing "Connect Your Microsoft Account" option

This is odd. I am getting things set up for a small client who bought a Windows 8 (standard) machine. They are not on a domain. I want to link a local user account to a Microsoft account. I sign in under the user account and go to "PC Settings - Users" but do not see the "Connect Your Account" option. It's not there at all. 

So i thought maybe it was because it was standard Win8. I created a new general User account on MY laptop which has Win8 Pro installed, logged into that local user account, and do not see the "Connect..." option there either.

So.... what am I missing? 2 machines, one Pro, one Standard, fully updated, and neither of them show the option under (local) Users \ PC Settings to connect the local account to a Microsoft account.

I do not want them signing in to their machines with a Microsoft account only. It should be a local account, linked to a Microsoft account.

Thanks!
