    Changing administrator on child's laptop


    I am commandeering my child's laptop to add myself as an administrator and change her to a standard user-do I need to do a factory reset in order to accomplish this?

    :)

    Child Account Get Greyed Out

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I did the following instead.

    I have another laptop, 2 weeks old, with Windows 10 Home on it.

    On that one, I tried the same steps with the child account, and got the exact same results.

    Islamic Development Bank Funds One Laptop Per Child in Cameroon

    The greater availability of more information to more people is a beautiful thing, it should be pretty obvious what an educated human can accomplish by now.

    Could you suggest a list of books that contain all the information on the internet and where to buy them for the same cost per child as these laptops?
