WIN10_Very complicated user account situation
Hi there,
This is my first post here.
I tried to search for a related issue but considered I can't even explain it thoroughly, I had a hard time finding what I'm looking for. Hope someone here can shed some light on this intricate situation.
I have a desktop PC (Alienware) with Win 10 pre-installed.
At my first login I created my user, let's call this user IronMan.
After a few days, still not sure about windows 10 and privacy issues, I decided to create a second user, same administrator privileges. Let's call this second user Thanos.
Just to give you an idea of how complicated this is getting, I'm not even sure anymore if the first user was actually IronMan or Thanos. But let's continue.
I kept logging in as Thanos, installing all my software with licenses and everything. I worked like these for months now. Slowly, I started appreciating Edge, Onenote, Onedrive, the whole family basically. On top of that, I also have Microsoft Launcher, Edge and the other apps installed on my Samsung. Feeling more confident about the privacy thing on Win 10 (especially knowing what to share and what not to), I started migrating some of my stuff over my real profile (IronMan). So, Onenote, which also I used to use under Thanos profile for years, now lives under my IronMan profile. I did this mainly because I want to use what's actually related to my real profile. I'm OK with Edge customizing my searches and syncing everything across devices. And I don't want to keep using Thanos as that's under an email I never use, and soon or later I might totally forget about it. IronMan, on the other hand, is under my Outlook email which I actually use.
Sorry for the long story. Now, here's the problem. I don't want to keep Thanos on my PC anymore. I want to use only IronMan. I tried to log in as IronMan and of course, all my programs need registration not to mention all the custom preferences and so on. So, here's the big question:
How can I delete Thanos, start logging in as IronMan, switch from Thanos to IronMan on Microsoft Edge and use only that from now on?
If there were a simple way to just keep my Thanos user account, which has already all my software installed and related prefs, delete IronMan (which I never really used actually) and switch from Thanos to IronMan in Microsoft Edge, I think I should be 99% there, unless I'm missing something.
Is this even possible without intense pain? :)
Thanks for any help!
