  1. change to local from admin


    Hi I bought a computer a like nine month ago. I happen to log in with my School login. Now I'm stuck and I can not use it like mine and I need support from u guys. I contacted my administrator at school and she couldn't do so much because it is not their computer and she could not fix it. I need to get of home organisation to local account instead. she referred me to microsoft support. *** Email address is removed for privacy *** u can contact me via this mail.

    Changing the local admin name

    Hi guys,

    I need some help with my local admin name.

    I am handing off my Lenovo T530 to my friend. I have deleted anything personal and only have W10 (20H2) with latest updates left.

    I went into the control panel and changed the name of my local admin account to my friends name.

    However, when displaying the windows directories -> Users, I still see my name. And more, when i change the password with alt Ctl del I also still see my name.

    How can I change both to my friends name?

    Thanks for any suggestion.
