Windows 10: I need to know if an email is a fake hacker or not

***email content removed***

Admin email replaced with hackers email. How can I point admin role to new email?

Yes, I want to get rid of the hacker's account.

The hacker's email account is the administrator account. I set-up a
new Microsoft email account also as an
admin under family & friends, but hacker's is still the main admin. Will I be able to use the new admin account I set-up when doing what you suggest? The hacker's admin email has thwarted me from removing his as I don't have his password or phone
number.

1. You must be the Administrator on the computer to run the commands I listed earlier.

2. Change Admin Account in Settings

3. There are utilities (free) that can locate passwords on the device. These are from NirSoft.

EncryptedRegView,

CredentialsFileView, and
VaultPasswordView

EncryptedRegView will decrypt passwords found in Windows Registry

4. As Greg said, go to every site you do business with and change your passwords to secure your accounts.

5. If nothing works, Perform a clean install of Windows 10 which will wipe account information out on the system.

Windows 10 on VMware Workstation with a 'fake' username

Sometimes I wish to make and post/upload screenshots and / or a short video.

With screenshots, I can remove my name using whatever screen capturing tool.

This is more complicated though with videos. Maybe users with more advanced experience know how to blank the user name in videos, but for me it would be nice to be able to run Windows (again, within VMware Workstation) with some 'fake name', like UserX

I still have an unused W10 x64 Pro retail license (upgrade from 8.1) that I might use to create a new VM for that purpose.

I wonder though whether that will work?

During setup, at one point in time I will get a "Make it yours" screen, requiring email and password.
Using my email address and pw, it will automatically use my account profile then. Obviously.


Then again, I don't know what comes next when I hit the 'Skip this step' option at the bottom.

But maybe, what I am asking, isn't possible at all...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
