Windows 10: problems accessing my computer

Hi everyoneI am set up as a local user on my windows 10 PC, without admin privileges. I now need to change to a Microsoft account. I have forgotten the admin password. The only solution seems to be to reinstall windows, having saved all my files on an externl drive. What is the best way of doing this?I have looked at the recovery options, but am unsure if any of them would work.As I see it, I need to remove all existing users and replace them with new users, including a new admin and myself with a microsoft acccount,then copy all my sved files back to the computer. Any applications need to be

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

 

Problem with UK Government sites access

I have a problem with UK Government sites on this computer. I have tried accessing and filing on the companies house site, and have today tried to file a tax return with HMRC. In both cases I have been able to log in, but when moving to the next step to actually do anything I get either an error message or a screen freeze. I have not had problems with any other websites.
I have used an old laptop computer and found that both sites work well on that machine without problems, using the same email address and access codes, so it would seem that the problem lies with this computer but I cannot work out what the problem might be.
Are there any suggestions as to what I could try?
