New Dell Computer - how to choose type of acct w/ first turn on
May I ask, how is the Administrator of a computer determined? Am I, as a new owner of this computer, automatically made the administrator?
Computer: Dell XPS 8920, Windows 10Pro, two drives (SSD with OS and hard drive for storage)
If so, how does the system identify the Administrator? Must I also create a user account? If so, is this so my choices for personal settings can be recognized? I want to do this right and don't know what to expect when I first turn on this newly purchased computer (not yet arrived).
I am totally new to windows 10. I have never even seen a computer running windows 10 other than on youtube. My old computer is dying so I've purchased a 'new to me' dent and scratch XPS 8920 from Dell with Windows 10 Pro.
When computer arrives and I first turn it on, from watching and trying to learn from youtube videos, it would appear I will be asked to create accounts. From watching youtube videos, the first question seems to be something about a microsoft account. I don't want a microsoft account so I will do my best to move past this so I can move to the next offering. Are there things I should or shouldn't do here?
Once past this first screen, what type of user account do I create, if any? No one else uses my computer but me. I want to keep it as simple as possible because I have to try and figure things out if something goes haywire. I have no one else to call on.
Thank you for any advice or suggestions as to how to proceed with first boot.
