  1. Eliminating wrongfully installed account/administrator?


    Originally set up a new computer using the wrong MS365 user account when I should have used the Family-level MS365 shared account for my wife. I've successfully added a standard local user account for her including a password & PIN. Do I remove the original wrongly installed user account by simply deleting it at settings/accounts/user? If not, how do I ensure that cloud data for the first account user is eliminated from the new computer?Thanks

    :)

  2. Eliminating wrongfully installed account/administrator?

    The wife's account is now set as "administrator." Gained access to User Profiles ....highlighted the profile to be deleted ....but the option button for "delete" does not activate. Did I miss a step?

    After another restart, the "delete" button was activated and the old account/user deleted. The last step worked as expected and the old account was finally deleted.

    Thank you ...thank you for rescuing me. Susan (wife) will love her new computer! Eliminating wrongfully installed account/administrator? :))
