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-
Change the type of user account
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-a-users-account-type
Why use a standard account instead of an administrator account?
I hope that I have answered your query.
Back to us for any issues related to Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you. We at Microsoft, strive for excellence and offer our customers the best experience.

How can I change the account administrator to a standard account?
Original title: How can you change your administrator to standard user after you have already chosen administrator?
need to know that I don't know how to change it, it won't let me
I have to format it?
Why would you want to downgrade your admin account? That would be like throwing the master key for your safety! You must do exactly the opposite: make sure you have two accounts admin fully tested all the time, even you have at least two keys to your home. Anything else is running a great risk - see here.

How can I change the account names?
* Original title: change account names
I got a new PC that connects to an Account of MS. I created one under a Gmail account. All is well until I leave it to the companies.
I allow someone to use my computer for Skype me from this computer to the laptop I have with me at the time. They create a new Skype account and it works well.
However, I just got back and it seems as if there is only one account, under the new MS Gmail Account they had to create, which is linked to the Skype they used then. My account name disappeared, and now all the files that I had my account when I left are under the account they created.
How can I change their new Gmail MS account on the account which I have had without losing my files, keeping their active Skype account and keep my Skype account linked to my account?
Thank you!
