Windows 10 reset on a Star Wars special edition notebook


There's no need to reset the laptop. Simply create a new user account for you, change its account type to administrator (all new accounts after the first initial one are standard accounts when created), sign out from the original account, sign in to your new account and finally remove the original account. Takes a few minutes, much faster than a full reset.

• Step 1, create a new user account: User Account - Add in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2, change the new account's type to Administrator: Account Type - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 3, remove the original account: User Account - Delete in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
