Changing Administrators on Laptop

I've read a number of articles on this and what my laptop says and what the articles say don't seem to match.

I have two accounts on this laptop which is Windows 11 (as well as a tablet and another laptop, both Windows 10). They all need to be changed.

The email that I want to get rid of is the administrator; I've added the one I want as an account on this laptop. If I right click on the account picture on the Start Menu, I get three choices - change account settings, lock and sign out. Clicking on account settings, I get the account page in the settings app. It does give me the option to go to a local user setting, but then I get all these warnings about backing up the encryption key.

I need a detailed list of steps to do this. Sorry to be dense, but I want to make sure I get this right.
