Windows 10: Access Windows 10 Laptop

Hi,


We are a UK based company with staff based in both the UK and US. We have a Windows 10 laptop in the US that is accessed via a Microsoft Account. The individual who set this account up has left the organisation and is no longer contactable thus we are unable to use this hardware at the moment.


A new starter has joined us and we want to make use of this hardware but without the password details for the account set up on the laptop we are unable to use this laptop.

What can we do to either get another Windows account user setup or remove the one currently installed and perhaps use a local account instead?


Your feedback would be appreciated.


Regards

Alan

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.
