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 The Westnet email addresses is no longer active.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;

• Click the Start button > Settings > Accounts > Other Users
• Choose Add someone else to this PC
• Choose I don’t have this persons sign-in information
• Choose Add a user without a Microsoft account
• Enter a new username, password and fill in the security questions
• Click Next

then change it to be an Administrator;

• In Settings > Accounts > Other users
• Click the newly created user
• Choose Change account type
• Use the drop-down arrow under Account Type and choose Administrator
• Click OK
