    Administrator

    I’m trying to remove my old administrator account. The Westnet email addresses is no longer active. In order to remove it to I need change the Westnet account type. In order to change the account type I need to have another Administrator account. Now this it gets tricky. I’m trying to change my gmail account to administrator. Nowhere in win 11 can I find an option to change my gmail account type and promote it to admin.

    have you tried creating another user account, without an email address, just a local account;
    [ul]
    [li]Click the Start button > Settings > Accounts > Other Users[/li][li]Choose Add someone else to this PC[/li][li]Choose I don’t have this persons sign-in information[/li][li]Choose Add a user without a Microsoft account[/li][li]Enter a new username, password and fill in the security questions[/li][li]Click Next[/li][/ul]
    then change it to be an Administrator;
    [ul]
    [li]In Settings > Accounts > Other users[/li][li]Click the newly created user[/li][li]Choose Change account type[/li][li]Use the drop-down arrow under Account Type and choose Administrator[/li][li]Click OK[/li][/ul]
