Reclaiming Administrator rights in Windows 11

I had a Local User account before re-installing HP Laptop Windows 11 Home Edition. I thought I could go back and create a Local User account after setting it up, but Microsoft has ALL the rights. The User Account Window doesn't even have a 'yes' button on it, only a no button. I didn't know this was a thing. Is there a way to regain Administrator Rights again on this computer? I even tried to buy the upgrade to Pro but I don't have any Administrator rights, and that's crazy!!!
