  2. How to merge an Admin and a standard account?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me assist you.

    I understand you are not able to access certain admin options on the standard account. As the standard account is your main account currently on which you have installed all your updates, I suggest you to change it to an Admin account. To change it
    to the admin account, login to the Admin account and change the account type of the standard account. Refer the steps below.

    1. Click on Start and go to
    Settings.


    2. Tap or click Accounts, and then click
    Family and other accounts.

    3. Under Other users, tap the standard account, and then click
    Edit.

    4. Click the Account type box, choose Administrator, and then tap or click
    OK.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Admin accounts

    Yes.

    An admin, if they try to browse the user folder of any other user (standard or admin) will be told they don't have access, but will be offered permanent access if they wish by clicking Continue. You won't accidentally stumble across her files, but you could look for them if you were determined. Can she trust you (or can you trust yourself) not to click Continue?

    Even signed in as an admin, most of the time you are running processes or apps as a standard user anyway. Only when you try to do something that requires admin rights will you be asked (as in the folder example above) if you want to use your admin privileges. The 'harm' would be if you click 'Yes' on a UAC prompt before taking the time to think about what it is that you'd be allowing to run.
