Change to a New Administrator Account

grandpavic · 19 Dec 2015

I have purchased a laptop from a friend. Just prior to my purchase Windows 10 got loaded. The compter has one account which is an administrator account. I think that the same account information is used as a login to Microsoft. I would like to remove the account and substitute my own administrator account. How do I do that.

Thanks for you help.

Change the new user account's account type to administrator (tutorial)
Sign out from the old admin account
Sign in to your new admin account
Delete the old admin account (tutorial)
