    I use my local administrator account, so why am I getting this error?


    You could use the GHC80 account instead if wanted.

    However, you can also copy over any files (ex: documents, pictures, etc...) you wanted from the "Gordon E" folder to the "Gordon E.DESKTOP-CGSLCFV" folder.

    I suppose I could use GHC80, as it appears to have most of the files and folders, but I'm confused how to move contents of Gordon E and Gordon E Desktop*** over. I thought GHC80 would be in C:\users, but there's no sign there.

    The command results above show that the "C:\Users\Gordon E" folder belongs to the "GHC80" account, so it's in there.

    Thanks guys for all your attempts to help, but ultimately I got so confused, I started over with another installation, opting out of set up with the Microsoft account.*Redface

    I'm glad you got it sorted now, but too bad it took a clean install to get there.
