  1. Changed Account to Owner and can't change it back to Administrator on Windows 10.


    I switched my account in windows 10 to owner. Unfortunately it revoked my admin rights. Since my admin rights are revoked I can't use the same program to change it back. Unfortunately I can't use the hidden admin hive activation option because I can't access the hive option to activate it. I searched net user in the command prompt because I couldn't even access another account I created. Upon looking at the Users there's a hidden admin user by the name of GCC_FileDrop that's the Default Account with Administrator rights and mine is a Guest account. But before I changed my account it showed Adm

  4. Changed Account to Owner and can't change it back to Administrator on Windows 10.

    Change original administrator account


    I have purchased a used Asus laptop that already has Win 10 installed on it from the original owner. All of the settings on the computer are linked to that owner's Microsoft account and administrator account. Is there a way for me to change the administrator information to my Microsoft account and email? I can log in using the old owner's password to access the administrator account, but I don't see any way to change the account to my information. If I create a new user account and make it an administrator account, when I log in using the new account, there is no access to any of the apps I need from the original account. Thanks.
