Deleting school administrators

Hi Kirsty f,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1

If that laptop contained a volume licence linked to the school, your sister may not be able to activate Windows, she will need to purchase a Windows licence.

Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

Run or paste this command and hit Enter:

slmgr.vbs /dlv

Please post a screenshot of the resulting dialog

2

Open the Settings app, then go to Accounts - Your Info.

A

On that page, is your sisters personal Microsoft account listed or is it a school account?

On that settings page, is there an option to switch to a local account or an option to stop automatically signing into apps with the account?

B

On the left, select Emails and Accounts, is there is the school Email listed there?

Select Access Work or School, is there is the school Email listed there?

 

"Choose where to get apps" is missing on my school laptop (Windows 10)

Is your laptop provided by your school or is it a personal laptop and are you the administrator account on the laptop?

Do you see any settings in your settings app blocked by 'Organization'?

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
