Windows 10: Difference between 'Owner' and 'Administrator'?

I'd like to posit that 'Owner' and 'Administrator' are different, and that the technicians who code error messages may be confusing one for the other. Often times, it says "Administrator Permission" needed when it actually needs Ownership of the file and subfolders to be changed, with specific permissions granted to the new owner. Being an administrator has absolutely nothing to do with the permissions needed to continue in those actions, because the account currently accessing it already is. So I'd like to offer my free services explaining how to spell "Administrator" and "Owner" differently

Would like to change from owner to administrator

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to change from owner to administrator. Under control panel, user account, user account, manage account, change account, change account type. Under all that is "Choose a new account type for owner ." I am listed
as administrator. But at sign in at start up I listed as owner. As well in Power Shell ISE How I do change that ? Thank you

 

Unknown User as Owner

Hi Bree, thanks for stepping up to address this issue.
As far as I know my External Drive has only been used on my PC.

I could try to implement your suggestion and take Ownership of those Folders.
The "Take Ownership" link is present in my right click menu, but I'm currently logged in with my Microsoft account, so perhaps it would be better if I went Properties --> Security --> Advanced & set the Owner to Administrators, no?!

Although my mind is bugged with a new question now.
If I change the Owner & later on I have to restore a backup (Acronis on a CD) won't I encounter problems then?

 

Owner vs Administrator

What is the difference between an "Owner" and "Administrator?" Are both needed? Can both be the same with same information? Thanks!
