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?

 

Can a Local Admin account manage a Microsoft Admin account?

.
@Tr3: Wow !! Thanks for the comprehensive response.

BTW: There was an important sentence missing in my OP. That type of error is gradually occurring more often with me now. It was probably one cause of the Windows reset.

I should have said:

--------------------------
- Also, up till now, I've always had a second Admin account just in case. I don't recall ever using the second Admin account, so I must be doing something right.

After being forced to reset Windows, I currently have one Local Admin account. [I now plan to add a second Local Account for safety. ]

Question: If I change the [default] Local account to a Microsoft account, can that account be managed by the [second] Local account Admin?
-----------------------

I hope the corrections made above might clarify my plan.

I've started doing that since @dalchina rapped my knuckles here:

Am I an Adminstrator ? Will I still be Admin in an hours time?

I used Macrium immediately after the reset. Since then, I've been doing Diffs. Each Diff takes only 1 minute, because of the few changes between each Diff. But the changes themselves took a lot longer than 1 minute.

IMO, your suggestion to use alternate hard drives for backups is great. My plan had been to use 2 drives with identical contents, but I'm now going to follow your method.

Before the infamous reset, I converted the default Local account to a Microsoft account (my "primary" account). Then I created a second Microsoft account for safety.

I then went back to the primary account, and changed myself to a Normal user - as the big boys recommend. I did some stuff. I then needed to be Admin again for something. But I was unable to change myself back to Admin from within the primary account.

I switched to the alternative MS account. I changed the primary account back from Normal user to Admin. That final step is what I meant when I referred to "using one account to manage another account".

Your post has a lot of other useful stuff that I'm going to implement - with Diffs in between.

Thanks for your help.

 

Remove account

To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
