    I want to change the owner on a WIndows 10 machine


    I have a Win10 laptop and want to remove one user original setup as admin with an outlook.com ID and add replace with another user also an outlook.com ID. The new ID is part of another "family" group that I purchased an O365 subscription and want to install the apps on this laptop so this new user can use this laptop with the apps. How do I do that?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Can't write to shares on a Windows 10 machine from a Windows 7 machine

    I still get "You need permission to perform this action" from the Windows 7 machines if I try to write to a Windows 10 share after I made the above changes on the Windows 10 machine.
