Windows 10: Setup New Laptop with Windows 10 - sign in and admin

Recently had a new HP Laptop and starting to set it up for use and transfer files from old laptop etc.

I read somewhere that one should not use their Windows account log-in to use/run their Laptop/PC etc.

Should I have my windows sign-in as (non-administrator) and additional user setup as the Administrator.

Which should I use to log-in when booting/starting the laptop.

Thank you for any help.

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Non Admin acct questions

I think you may just be looking in the wrong place. When you sign out the sign in screen and password box will be for the account that has just signed out. It's the same for a restart, the sign in screen will be for the last user that had signed in.

Sign out, then look for a list of names in the lower left corner of the sign in screen. All available accounts should be listed there, click on the one you want to change the sign in screen to be for that user. See the screenshot at step 2 in this tutorial.

Sign in to Windows 10

Correct, the user folder is not created until the first sign in.
