Windows 10: So I have enabled my super admin account. How do i make so that it uses my previous...

Is there any other way besides copying my previous user's appdata to my admin appdata? my previous user's appdata is heavy, probably more than 40GB so it such a waste of space to copy.

Is there any way so that this admin account uses my previous appdata?

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

Enable Admin account

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

What is the version of Windows that is installed on the Computer?

May I know how did you reset the PC?

If you need to create an administrator account, you need to log into an administrator account, if there are not administrator account on the computer, you will not be able to create an admin account.

You will have to reinstall Windows, refer this article

Back up data.
