1How To Change An Admin Account To Standard User in Windows 11/10
In this tutorial, I will be showing how to change an administrator account with elevated privileges to a standard user account.
Every time you go through the out-of-the-box experience on a new installation of Windows 10, you're required to create a user account. The first account you create will always be an Administrator account, which allows you to manage every aspect of your computer. However, when you need to share your computer with family members or friends by default the accounts are created as Standard User, which are more restricted, and sometimes it may not be the best option.
Administrator accounts have complete control over a computer. Users with this type of account can change settings globally, install programs, get through the User Account Control (UAC) when elevation to perform a task is required, and everything else.
Standard User accounts have more limited control. Users with this type of account can run applications, but they can't install new programs. Users can change system settings, but only settings that won't affect other accounts. If a task requires elevations an username and password for an administrator will be needed to pass through the UAC prompt.
The Standard User account works best for a child's account or may be for someone who only needs to do the very minimum (or can't be trusted to not muck things up). However, there will be times when you may want to give users more freedom on what they can do.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 11 & Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
