Can I change my account from an administrator to a standard account?

I have currently my system set up as an administrator account and want to know if I can change it to a standard account, if yes, how do I do this?

Hello

Please contact the Microsoft Community.

Want to know how to change the type of user account to an administrator to a standard user. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you.

I wish that you perform the steps-

(a) connect you to your administrator account, click on 'Start', type 'User accounts' (without the quotes) and press "Enter."

(b) now, click on "Change your account type" and then place a "point" next "Standard".

(c) click on "Apply changes".

Note: Make sure you have at least one additional account on the computer with privileges 'administrator' to prevent problems with user account controls.

In addition, see the articles-

Why use a standard account instead of an administrator account?
