Windows 10 Administrator Problem
Having an issue with the Windows 10 upgrade. I am not sure that I am going to explain this well. I am upgrading on a Lenovo T420 from Windows 7. I was not going to upgrade right away to Windows 10 until I could read about it and some of the early bugs were worked out, but the update was started accidentally...unbeknownst to me.
The install started & I got through the install while reading about it on a different device. I thought I had it all set right, set the password, computer was running good, and at that point Windows 10 was fine...I liked it.
I always shut the laptop down when I am done to save on battery. When the computer restarted that was when the problems started. I tried downloading some pictures and it said I "did not have permission" "Check with your administrator." Checked the admin settings and everything seemed to be set the way it should. Logged out/shut down because I had some errands to run.
I got back on later but instead of going to a password start like it had been doing, it went automatically to the administrator account instead. I get errors saying that I "cannot open apps from the administrator account." But when I log out of the administrator account and log back on, it goes right to the administrator account again.
I did some quick searching and the other user account is still on the hard drive.
My questions are:
1) How do I log out of the admin account to log onto the other account?
2) Is there a way to merge the users?
3) Can I move the stuff from the other user to the admin account, change some settings, and just use that?
4) Should I/ Can I create a password for the admin side and will that allow me to log off the admin account & then log in to the other user account?
Any suggestions or help will most appreciated. I am not liking Windows 10 at the moment.
Thanks!
