Windows 10: Existing child account - how to make a new Admin account

Hi. I'm getting a bit confused about how to set up child's laptop with me as an Administrator. I've read a few internet articles but they all seem to start by assuming that you have set up the computer in your own name first and are then adding a child. I put the child's name in when installing W10 and they currently have a standard user account with a password. When I go into add a family member it asks for a microsoft account email. Now presumably that is asking for the child's microsoft account email (which he doesn't have) - so I assume I don't put my own microsoft account email in there. In which case I can't work out how to set up an account as an adult admin on a family account, without creating a microsoft account for the child first. Any tips please!

:)

 

Windows Phone 8.1 - Unable to install any apps as a child

A new or existing adult account works. A new or existing child account does not work. I can make the Windows Store work with an adult account, but in that case I lose all control and my child (the user of the phone) disconnects from the family account,
can no longer sync settings or files through OneDrive. This is not a good solution, but it can be a last-resort backup.

 

Changing Administrator account in windows 10

I don't want to add child account. I want to remove admin account and add new admin account. your answer helps in creating a child account not admin.

Thank you

 

By default, the user account that was set up during Windows 10 installation should be an administrative account. Windows seems to only allow to create a standard or limited account after logging into Windows. How do you know the account you've added is a standard account?

 

Thanks! I've gone back to Windows 7 now - there was no driver for screen resolution for that particular machine. If they start making a GMA 3600 driver I will reinstall with my own name on the computer set up and then add the child afterwards.
