Windows 10: Want to swap administrators but retain all existing files and setting on new account

HiI set up my wifes computer with my outlook address as she did not have a hotmail/outlook account on windows 11 home. I have since gotten her a hotmail account and have added her as an administrator to sign in.I was going to delete myself as administrator but then found all the files and setting linked to my account were not available when she logged in.Is there any way to retain all the settings and files on my account when she logs in? I would like that so that her account can then remove mine from the computer.Thank you.

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

Change Administrator name and email but retain all files and programs associated

Hi,

We can see here that you want to add or change the current administrator name as well as the email but retain all your files and programs. To answer your question, there’s no way we can mirror your current account to the new account that you want to add.
However, you can add a new user account and grant that account to have access to your files by following the steps below:

• Open File Explorer.
• Right-click on the file that you want to share.
• Click on Share with.
• Select Specific people...
• In the File Sharing window, select the user whom you want to share the file with.
• Click on Share.

Feel free to post back should you have further concern.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account

Hi guys

I have same issue in safe boot mode with networking!

First of all it blocks the networking

Then states:

Settings cant be opened using the built in administrator account sign in with different account and try again.


Yet clicking on windows i opens settings fine


It also states broadband blocked, yet I can happily get on the net but at first I couldn't.

When I asked about it the guy from Microsoft tech answers couldn't understand why I wanted to use safe boot mode with networking????????

After he did nothing to help but emailed some scripts which didn't refer to safe mode. I rebooted and suddenly safe mode with networking worked with the net but windows 10 still claims broadband is blocked!

Im also still getting the message on trying to unblock broadband:

cant be opened using the built in administrator account sign in with different account and try again.

What is going on there?
