  1. Mother is now deceased and I would like to become sole administrator.


    I bought this computer for our Mother and she has since passed away. I would like to know how to change control / administrator over to myself. I worry about losing any or all of her files which are important to our Family. Any help would be appreciated... Thank You.

    :)

  2. Administrator

    When I upgraded to Win 10, I used my deceased mother's name as user account/administrator. I want to change that to my own name and information. How can I do this?

    adminstrator rights as sole user

    Why am I told I do not have administrator rights and thus cannot open desktop downloads, move files etc.? I am sole user of this newly bought PC using Windows 10 and Outlook 365. Please can you give me a step by step idiot's guide to solving this silly
    problem? This is a domestic, single user PC. Thank you.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
