    I'm leery of clicking on Administrator


    1/13/2017 Since yesterday's upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, when I enter my password, I not only see my name but also the word Administrator. I'm leery of clicking on Administrator for fear my computer might be reformatted, but I certainly would like to have Administrator Privileges. What should I do?

    How well is Windowa 10 working out?

    Is Windows 10 living up to the hype or is it causing more problems than it solves? I'm on Windows 7 and I'm a bit leery of accepting the upgrade...

    Is Windows 10 much better than Windows 7

    I'm always leery when something is offered "free" and Windows 10 confirms my attitude. Windows 10 has provided more confusion than help.

    I'm confused about "Administrator": When I got my new laptop with Win 10, I took my Local account as an Administrator. I thought it gave me full rights to do everything. However, every so often, a pop-up tells me i need to be an Administrator. And I must bypass it by pressing Enter, or something like that. (...
