    First , go to Control Panel/ User Accounts and create a new user that is an Admin. Log out of the previously Hidden Administrator account and login as the new User. Browse to C:\Users\[OldUserName here copy all of the user files and paste them into the New User profile overwriting the blank User files. (ie) Documents, Music, Pictures etc https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...#1TC=windows-7
    Be sure to Hide the Built in Administrator account again.

    Unfortunately adding another user isn't that simple. Every time I press the option to add another user, this window comes up. My old profile is there and I would love to re-add it but I don't see a way to add a new user, whether its a brand new one or the old one that I had before.
