To work effectively and ensure data on Windows 10 computers, we often divide into different users if the computer has 2 or more users. If you do not know how to grant admin rights to users in Windows 10, please refer to the following tutorial!

To do this, you must log into the computer with the admin account to assign admin rights to the sub account. Proceed as follows:
Step 1: Right-click Start (1) => Settings (2) .
Step 2: Select the Accounts section .
Step 3: Choose Family & other users (1) . Next, click on the account that needs authorization and select Change account type (2) .
