tried to kill the microsoft account and ended up with a new user that is suddenly the admin. my preferred local acct is no longer the admin. how can I make an account the admin and another no longer the admin.
btw I am noticing that a lot of the tenforums tutorial show things that I cannot find on my win 10
Settings, Accounts, Family & other users, {select the account you want to make an admin}, Change account type, Account type - Admin, OK.
What Windows 10 version do you have?
- Right click on the Start button, click on Command prompt / Windows PowerShell and enter winver
- Post the version and the long number stating its Build

winver is 1809, 17763.737
when I open accounts there is no option showing for family and other users
what I have is former MS account now local username A and local account unsername B (not admin)
everytime the enter password screen pops up it is for username A (admin) even if I am logged in as username B
Hello,
Please message me or post in the tutorials you are not finding on your computer.
Please do note first that most of the tutorials will say in the notes starting with Windows 10 build xxxx. If you do not have at least that build number or higher installed, the item mentioned in the tutorial will not be available yet for you.
That is the correct behaviour. The screen to which you refer is seeking Admin approval for the task concerned.
I think that the option appears if you are logged in to the Admin account [username A]. Once you have made username B an Admin as well then it should also appear for that one.
