  1. Brand New Laptop, Windows telling me I am not Administrator


    Hello,

    I just bought a new Hp laptop and went through the set-up process. Haven't owned a windows computer in a decade. I was trying to rename one of my program file folders and was told "You require permission from the administrators to make changes to this folder." When i open the settings and go to Accounts - Your info it says i am the administrator. Wtf is this, how do i fix it?

    brand new lap top battery

    I ran the troubleshoot power option and it said “Display brightness setting is too high”

    but it’s a brand new laptop, i should think I could expect the most from it.

    I haven’t tried the next steps uou have suggested yet.
