change administrator on windows 10
My and I shared a Windows 10 PC. She now uses a different Windows 10 computer, but the one we shared is registered under my wife's MS account, and displays her name. She is happy for me to change the original PC to be registered to my own MS account, and become the Administrator. How do I do that, so that it displays my name? You can see the problem, as it is my wife's name and image appear with this question! I guess any notifications about this question will be sent to her email account as well, come to think of it. No matter, as I have access to her emails.

Shared resources accessing problem in Window 10.
Hi there, Couple of days ago I signed with my Microsoft account in my pc running with Windows 10 Enterprise. Before that I was using the same pc with local account. The time I had begun using the pc with my Microsoft account I cannot access the shared resources in my LAN. Whenever I tried to access the resources it was asking for the credential & after entering the correct credential it shows that the name or the password incorrect.

Generic logins
I maintain 10 computers for our computer club. Our default setup is one administrator account, for maintenance and installations, and a generic member login with limited privileges. This is closer to a business environment than a home one. Yesterday I did a clean install of Win10 (20HS) on a laptop that been running Insider releases. Now, when I create an account I am asked to supply or create an MS email account, or phone number. Is there a way to create accounts to match what I have on all my other PCs or do I need to go back to an older release?
