Windows 10: how to change pc administrator windows 10

My new laptop inadvertently got set up with my wife's email/Microsoft account, so she was assigned as administrator instead of me. How can this be changed to me? I saw some instructions from 2017, but they indicated using Windows button + X and choosing Control Panel..., but here is no Control Panel in that menu. Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
