  1. PC admin account change


    When I purchased my pc they set up the Adminstrator email account using the email I placed the order under, a gmail account. Is there a simple method of changing this admin email accoun on my pc without losing my the connection to my MS account and Windows 11 installation.

    :)

    How to change admin user account name?

    ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
    I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
    I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
    And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    PC admin account change

    Change User Account Admin rights


    you've all been very welcoming and generous. However, your suggestions aren't solving my problem.

    why can't I - as sole user of this PC - have admin rights to my own machine?

    the minute I select Administrator the option to change account type is greyed out.

    Perhaps you can't in Windows 10. In that case, it is ridiculous

    Thanks again
