Remove my admin profile on my sons laptop

To remove the Microsoft admin account from the laptop without losing admin access, first make sure there is another administrator account on the device for the son.

Recommended path:

1. Add the son’s account to the PC.
   • Press Start, type netplwiz, and press Enter.
   • Select Add.
   • Sign in with the Microsoft account that should be used on the laptop.
2. Make that new account an administrator.
   • In netplwiz, select the new account.
   • Open Properties or double-click the account.
   • Go to Group Membership.
   • Set it to Administrator.
   • Save the change.
3. Restart the laptop and sign in with the new administrator account.
4. If needed, copy files from the old profile.
   • Copy data from C:\Users\old username to C:\Users\new username before deleting the old profile.
5. Remove the old profile.
   • Type sysdm.cpl in Start search and press Enter.
   • Go to Advanced > Settings under User Profiles.
   • Delete the old user profile.
6. Remove the old account from Windows.
   • Open Settings > Accounts > Other user.
   • Under Other users, select the old account.
   • Next to Account and data, select Remove.

Important:

• Do not remove the current account until another account is confirmed as Administrator, or admin access can be lost.
• Removing the account from Windows removes its sign-in information and data from the device, but does not delete the Microsoft account itself.
