Windows 10: Administrator account changed to device owner. My account is not showed in the list...

I accidently turned my account administrator to device owner. I think my computer now thinks that i am a account that you can't log in like TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM , because its not in the account list anymore. I checked the Users folder from a non-admin account , and my account fredl was still there , and also a folder named user100000.FREDLEB1 , and i m not sure if this folder was here before or not By the way FREDLEB1 is the name of my PC. I know of to fix this , but i need administrator permissions. So : how can i turn a non-admin account , only account on the pc , into admi

Odd change in MS account list of devices

I was just checking my list of devices in my MS account, and I noticed two od things.

1) My Hyper-V virtual machines are just listed generically as "virtual machines" whereas they always used to be listed as "Hyper-V virtual machines". I liked it that way so I could tell Hyper-V machines separately from VMWARE VMS.

2) One of my VMs is now still listed in my MS account, even though I changed it to a local account. Previously device was always removed if you changed from MSA to local account. This is a good move assuming it is a change, not a glitch as this means the digital licence link will be retained if you changed to a local account for any reason.

 

Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

Tutorials:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
