    Does anyone know how to transfer admin rights from one account to the other?


    Basically, I want to transfer one of my accounts admin to the other. I know how to change it so that my second account is an administrator but I don't actually know how to fully transfer it. I also don't know if this is the right subreddit for this so if it is wrong, I am super sorry, and could you point me in the right direction?

    Windows 10 transfer admin rights (main account)?

    Hi Vrishank,

    The option to transfer the privileges and make another admin account the main account is unavailable.

    We suggest that you fix the issue on the main account by doing the following steps:

    Method 1: Boot your PC into Safe Mode

    Boot your computer into Safe Mode and see if the same issue will occur. If not, proceed with the steps in Method 2.

    Method 2: Run DISM with the RestoreHealth option

    Use the DISM command with the /RestoreHealth
    switch to scan the Windows image for any corruption and to perform a repair automatically. To run the command, do the following:

    • Use the Windows key + X keyboard shortcut to open the
      Power User       menu and select Command Prompt (Admin)
    • Type the following command, and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Note: While running the DISM using the /RestoreHealth, you will notice the process will seem stuck at 20% or 40%, but it's normal behavior. After a few minutes, the operation will finish as expected.

    Provide us an update on the progress of your concern.

    Does anyone know how to transfer admin rights from one account to the other?

    How to change admin user account name?

    ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
    I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
    I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
    And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?
