    Need help removing old school account from my PC, and more


    So my Windows Admin account on this PC is my old .edu account, which is no longer active. My dad got the family office 365 and wants to give me access. My microsoft account which I use for my Xbox live, etc, isn't the .edu account. I'm looking for help as to how to remove the .edu account, and make the other account the one I use for Xbox live the Admin and let it have access to the Office 365 that my dad wants to give me.


    Thanks ahead of time.

    :)

    Unable to remove old administrator account.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you want to delete one of the old administrator accounts from your computer. If you want to save the data from the old Administrator account, I would suggest you to copy the data from the old user account from
    C: Users\<Old User Account> and move it to your backup drive or folder in a different location, before deleting the account.

    I would also like to know what exactly happens when you try to remove the old Administrator account from your PC.

    To delete an Administrator account from your PC, you will have to login to another user account with
    Administrator access as User Accounts cannot be deleted through a Standard account.

    Once you have logged into your new Administrator account, you can follow the steps mentioned below to remove the old Administrator account from your PC. To do this, by

    1. Login to the new Admin User Account that you want to keep.
    2. Tap on 'Windows + I' on the keyboard.
    3. Click on 'Accounts'.
    4. Now click on 'Family & other users'.
    5. Select the old Administrator account from the list.
    6. Click on 'Remove'.

    Let us know if you face any issues, and we will certainly assist you further.

    Hope it helps.
