  1. How do I give myself Administrators right etc.


    I am the only User and am the Administrator. When I received my PC back from the tech people after a problem and they had to reinstall Windows 10 I noticed that I did not need to enter a PIN to be able to use my PC. So I decided to set one up using the Settings Menu and all appeared correct until I tried to save some work to my C drive only to be told I did not have permission to save there but could save to my User file and that I should get permission from The Administrator, in other word myself. HELP, how do I do this, I have tried Taking Ownership of the C drive but still not able to save

    :)
