How to Change the default admin profile
I had a clean install of Windows 11, this is the first time I have had a machine with Win11 on it. The machine set up with an Admin account on it. Later, I transferred all my files and documents to the machine successfully under my username 'Dad', but now of course if I click 'Documents' in File Manager, it takes me to the Admin account where there are no documents. Ideally, I would prefer that the 'Dad' account was the default admin profile, and that all the defaults pointed to that instead of the already-existing 'Admin' account. How would I go about this, please?
If you frequently create new accounts and want them to inherit the settings and folder structures of the Dad account, you can set up the profile to serve as a template.
Make "Dad" an admin via Settings > Accounts, change folder locations in File Explorer properties, set "Dad" for auto-login via netplwiz, and optionally delete the "Admin" account after backing up data.
