  2. I don't have an administrator account and i have two accounts and they are both standard account.

    Hi,

    As per your description, I understand that you have two standard accounts in your computer and you want to convert the account to Administrator account.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the standard account to administrator and check if it helps.

    • Press ‘Windows+X’ and go to ‘Control panel’.
    • Locate ‘User Accounts’ and click on it.
    • Click on ‘Change your account type’ and check the option
      ‘Administrator’ then click on ‘Change account type’.
    • Now your account will be changed as Administrator account.

    Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you

  3. Why do i have two of my main accounts on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Since when are you seeing the duplicate account?
    • Are you able to login to that account?
    HAVE you tried these steps to remove Microsoft user account :

    NOTE: It is always recommended you keep a backup of all your data and the go ahead with the process.

    1. Type User Accounts in the search bar and click Enter.

    2. Click on Manage another account.

    3. Click on the User account you wish to delete.

    4. Click on the Delete the account.

    5. In the prompt you can either click on keep files (which will keep a back up of all your files) or delete files (which will delete all the files associated with this account).

    6. Click on Delete Account.

    7. Close Control Panel.

    If doesn't work I suggest you to send the screen shots of the issue for better understanding to resolve it.
