Thanks to Brink and Denis for the help offered so far - although I cannot make much sense of Denis's questions because I may not have explained myself succinctly. I have answered different questions - have I made any sense? I do use a PIN - but by using the PIN I just get access to the device but not to the settings to change or even better remove altogether the existing adminstrator Local Account Password. It is absolutely ridiculously and unnecesarily complicated. So I set about changing it but following the prompts I just ended up changing the Microsoft Account password and so still cannot see how to get into the administrator password. So I removed it and every other email address associated with the PC - to have a clean start.Įntered the Microsoft Account that I wanted to use - then had a prompt to sign in just one more time with the password - I entered the password for the Microsoft account but that was not accepted presumably because it is a different password for the original administator/device sign in account. I was going along OK with the suggestions in the first post - I was not able to enter the Microsoft Account I want to become the Administrator account because I got an error message saying that email address is associated with the device already.

I do have the May 2010 - 2004 update installed and as far as I am aware my PC has all the windows updates available.
I want to keep the existing administrator account - which the person who set up my PC years ago simply called "owner" and make my Microsoft account become the Administrator/owner in order to continue with all the settings I now have.Ĭan you suggest how I go about this or direct me to a tutorial please? I am not sure what they were now and tried to sign in as instructed but - I was shown my USER account as separate to that of the Administrator Account. I understand I have to do it via Cortana - I followed the links I received. I want to use the show history procedure across my devices. I am also neurologically disabled with DCD/dyspraxia - and dyslexia which contributes to difficulties staying focused and following sequences. I am a complete fool at this stuff which has perplexed me for years.
