I'm the second user of my laptop, that when it bought by the first owner it free/with microsoft office. How can I use microsoft without buying license ? because the owner didn't give me the account. What to do?

Unknown User as Owner

Hi Bree, thanks for stepping up to address this issue.
As far as I know my External Drive has only been used on my PC.

I could try to implement your suggestion and take Ownership of those Folders.
The "Take Ownership" link is present in my right click menu, but I'm currently logged in with my Microsoft account, so perhaps it would be better if I went Properties --> Security --> Advanced & set the Owner to Administrators, no?!

Although my mind is bugged with a new question now.
If I change the Owner & later on I have to restore a backup (Acronis on a CD) won't I encounter problems then?

 

Old Owner Name

I bought a used Axim. I changed the Device ID in Settings -> System ->

About. I changed the owner name in Settings -> Personal -> Owner Info.

But when I use Send To on a Windows 7 "desktop", the option for my

Axim lists the old owner's name. Not a major problem, but definitely

annoying. I couldn't find that name in the registry (on the Axim).

Can anyone suggest another place to look?

Thanks.

 

how can I set up a second user on Windows 10

Perform the steps to create a second local user account in your system :-

1. Select the Start button, select Settings > Accounts and then select Family & other users. (In some editions of Windows
   you'll see Other users.)
2. Select Add someone else to this PC.
3. Select I don't have this person's sign-in information, and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.

4. Enter a user name, password, password hint or choose security questions, and then select Next.

If you want to make this local user as Administrator then please perform these steps :-

1. Under Settings > Accounts > Family & other users, select the account owner name, then select Change account type.
2. Under Account type, select Administrator and OK.
3. Sign in with the new administrator account.

Thank You.
