    How do you change a user account to an administrator account in Windows 10?

    Hi Fiona,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to go to control panel and check your user account status. Right click on the start button and select control panel in the menu. In the control panel, click on the 'view by' option in the top right and select 'large icons'. Now, click
    on 'User accounts' and check if your account is listed as Administrator. If it is not displayed as Admin account, click on the option 'Change user account type' and select 'Administrator' and apply changes. Try these steps and let us know the results. If you
    have already tried, please let us know what all troubleshooting steps you have tried so far, so that we can provided you suggestion accordingly.

    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:
    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.

  4. change of Account administrator ISP

    Unable to change my account type to Administrator and cant create a new account.

    Hi Aadil,

    I suggest you to activate Default Administrator and try creating a new Account with Administrative privileges. Try the below steps and check if you can create a new Account.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Command prompt(Admin).

    • Type the following command and hit
      Enter:


    net user administrator /active:yes



    Now, sign out from the current account and you will be able to see a new Administrator account. Sign in to the new Administrator Account and you may create
    a new user account
    with administrative privileges. You can also change the current local user account to Administrator Account. Follow the below steps to change the current local user account to Administrator Account.


    • Begin by right-clicking the
      Start Icon of Windows, then click Control Panel.

    • Then under User Accounts and Family Safety, click
      Change Account Type.

    • Then choose the account you wish to change, and double-click it.

    • Then click on Change Account Type.

    • Then choose the Account Type you want the user to be, you can choose between Standard and Administrator.

    • Click on Change Account Type.




    After creating the new user account or changing the current account to Administrator Account, use the following command at the command prompt (as mentioned above) to disable the default administrator account:



    net user administrator /active:no



    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help you.
