Windows 10: Win 10 Access

Hi! I am trying to help a nonprofit that recently purchased pc's with Windows 10 installed. I need help with two issues.


#1-When doing the initial setup, and asked "Who will be using this computer?", it was mistaken to mean the ACTUAL USER (standard user), not the local admin. A second user account was created, as a standard user. However, the user name and password that was used in the initial setup, was provided by the person who was to use the pc. (Stick with me on this.) To keep the person who was to use the pc, from making admin-level changes, the local admin account was changed to a standard user account. Now there is no local admin. The director of the nonprofit does not have, and does not want to try to keep track of, a Microsoft account.


Can anyone assist with a fix for this one?


#2 (easier, I hope)-No one has the passwords for either account on the above-mentioned pc.


Any assistance provided will be GREATLY appreciated!

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
