    Made a mistake in setup of new computer


    Hi! I just got a new computer and messed up the setup by using my son's info instead of my own. I want to be the administrator of the accounts on this computer I'm coming from a Mac so not sure if this means the same thing. I did a shift-restart hoping to reset Windows 10. Was that the right thing to do? I hope it didn't mess up anything!

    :)

    Bought a new HP Desktop computer and made a mistake when setting up my Microsoft account with my email. Can't seem to get in to edit the "administrator's" password. How can I correct?

    Why can't I download the new PC programme?

    And your suggested second step........ well I past to my Outlook.com log in but when I clicked on the download button I was sent to a page which said:



    This page can't be displayed




    I wonder if there are too many things being changed at the same time resulting is mistakes being made?
