Hello I installed a Microsoft account on my sons computer age11 ... he has the main account. I also have installed a microsoft account for myself as the parent , with the hope of trying to set up Microsoft Family Safety to restrict his internet access.Somehow I have messed up - I do not have the option of Administrators accounts anymore, and I would like to make myself the administator, and my son a regular user. Any ideas how I do this please??

sign into microsoft account glitch

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

• Is this the only account on the computer?
• Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

• Click on search in taskbar and type account.
• Click on Accounts.
• Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
• Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
• Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Regards
