    How to find and change my guest account?


    So, while changing the settings on my admin account I lost my admin privileges. I managed to create a new admin account but the old account does not show up in user accounts. All my old files are there but I would like to get that account back if possible. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get the guest account back as an admin account?

    :)

    Guest account windows 10

    There is no Guest account in Windows 10! My guests cannot find documents they had saved in Windows 8. How did others find the Engineers instructions helpful? It does not work. Under User Accounts there is only the Change Account Type option!

    Guest account disappeared after windows 10 upgrade.

    Can I do a system restore to an earlier date (before changing over to 10) to get my guest account back? Also, how would I find it in Windows 10? Thank you
