Windows 10: Windows 11: How do I remove my email, name and administrator information being displayed...

Hi,When I go to settings>accounts>sign-in options my name and email is displayed in the upper left corner. I do not want this information available.

how to completely remove windows

This was from windows help

 

There is an administrator name and email on my computer

I bought a new laptop. There is an account registered with name and email. I have no idea who this person is and suspect the computer was previously owned and sold to me as new. I cannot remove that name because it is listed as administrator. I can add my
name but it makes me nervous. I have contacted Costco where I bought the computer and they advise to wipe the entire thing and start over. Not that they will do that, I would have to. And I have contacted HP who suggests I pay for a higher level of support.
And I have contacted Microsoft who suggest I look at the forum where I do not find an answer. What I wouldn't give for someone who can help.

 

Upgrade to Windows 10 removed administrator account named "Administrator"

Hi Lonna,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Currently are on Windows 7 or Windows 10?

2) If you are on Windows 7, are you able to see the "Administrator" account in the PC?

If you are on Windows 10, try to follow the below steps and check.

I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and check if you’re able to login using your Microsoft account.

Method 1: Safe mode.

Please follow below steps:

• • 
    Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
    Shift key and click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Click on Troubleshoot.
    
  • 
    Click on Advanced options.
    
  • 
    Click on Startup Settings.
    
  • 
    Click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Login to Microsoft Account and create a new administrator account.
    

If you’re not able to login using Microsoft account then refer to below steps and check if it helps.

Method 2:
Activate Inbuilt Administrator Account.

Follow the below steps:

• • 
    Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
    Shift key and click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Click on Troubleshoot.
    
  • 
    Click on Advanced options.
    
  • 
    Click on Command Prompt and enter following command.
    
    net user Administrator /active:yes
    

Now reboot your system and login to inbuilt admin account and try to reset password for other account. Once you reset password login to other account and to deactivate inbuilt admin account enter following command in elevated command prompt.

net user Administrator /active:no
