Windows 10: How To Set Up User Accounts On First Installing?

I mean I've done it wrong. How to get it right.

I just made a new win10 install on a new hard drive.

And without thinking I gave my username as george - my son's name - and went ahead.

Now he's an admin login. Which is no good.

When I first realised I thought I'd go create another user with admin and reset george down to user.

It is not that simple in win10, is it? I got involved in all sorts of stuff about microsoft passwords and windows passwords and my yahoo account password and god knows what....

What is the simplest way for me to fix this?

Get rid of the george admin account, give me admin and access to his files and make him a simple user?

How to find my Windows password?

Hi Jacob,

User account password can be retrieved if you've set up your account using a Microsoft account. Before settings up a PIN, a user is always required to set up a User account password first. We may need further information and verification to further assist
your query. May we know how did you set up a PIN code without knowing your User account password?

We'll be looking forward for your reply.

 

Problem With Name of User Account

I have two questions. 1. How was I able to have my name "Mike", display under C:/Users/Mike when I have two user accounts. I set up my Local User Account fist "Mike H", then I set up my MS User Account "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***".
Does "Mike" show up under C:/Users/Mike, because I set up the Local Account first?

2. If I remove my wife's MS User Account and Local Account, then set up a Local Account for her FIRST, using the name Jennifer, will that change the name displayed in C:/Users/ to Jennifer?"

If I was able to get "Mike" to display for may dual accounts, I would think that I can do the same for Jennifer.

Thank you.

Then make sure to change the new account to administrator:

Log into your newly created administrator account and then use the same change account type procedure to change george to a standard user account.

 

Thank you very much. That was very helpful. Job done.
