Replace the previous User account with a different one
My daughter bought a Windows 8 Acer Laptop two or three years ago and did the prompted Windows 10 upgrade. She recently bought a new computer and gave me her old one. I can log in to her account which is tied to her Microsoft account, but I would much rather establish myself as the sole User with my Microsoft credentials (whatever they call them now, they were Passport when I established my account).
Frustrations are: It appears that all one can do in trying to create a new account is either "join a family" of the original person's account, or establish a local account. My tower logs in with my MS credentials so I think that is the same thing I would want to do on this laptop.
If I am correct, can anyone explain what steps I need to take to create the new account? I would also like to eliminate my daughter's login but keep her files in case she ever needs anything on that computer.
Thank-you!
