When my oldest went to college, we bought him a new laptop. College has a program that lets you buy a laptop, which includes all of the software needed for your major, a Microsoft suite (Word, Excel, etc.), and a repair plan (which includes a loaner laptop). His 2 year old Lenovo Yoga stayed home, and is going to become my laptop. Here's the question...is there a way to easily remove him and his user profile, and create one for me? Or do I have to remove him from each program individually? It's using Windows 10, and has a Microsoft suite installed, which i would like to use.
"is there a way"
"yes"
Assuming Windows 10, click start menu, then the gear icon (settings).
inside settings, click accounts
inside accounts, on the left edge, pick "other people"
pick "add someone else to this pc"
walk through the dialog. when it wants to make a microsoft account, say "I don't have this person's sign in information".
next screen, "add a user without a microsoft account"
next screen, fill in the user name and password details.
once the user is created, in the "other peolple" screen, click the new user, then click "change account type". Make this one an administrator.
Log out of the current user. log in to the new user. go into settings, accounts, other people, and remove the first user
