    Problem assigning admin rights in Windows 11


    Newly installed Windows 11 on new computer. I wished to exchange administrator rights between two users. I thought I followed instructions but have ended up with no administrator which means I can't install Office for example. A popup says 'do you want to make changes to this computer' then enter admin credentials with no space to do so.How can I give one of the users admin rights? Have tried 'change account type' but get the same pop up.Have tried Reset but same popup.Very frustrated

    :)
