    Thank you much.  The Admin account I was using has a PIN which wouldn't have worked to login to Safe Mode.  So the beginner's guide was helpful.

    I don't like that Apps still default to defaultuser() on install.  The dialog boxes say 'login with an Admin account' but don't allow the user to enter a different Admin account!!  Another bug to someday correct.

    After adding a password for defaultuser() and re-doing the install of MS Office 365 Home, I never was prompted that the install completed successfully.  But the apps are now working...

    Hi Lilly,

    Do you have a current admin account you log in with?

    Click start and type “this pc” - right click on it, and click manage.

    Once there, expand Users and Groups, and then click on Users.

    You may see “administrator” in the panel to the right. Right click on it, and set a password first. Once done and it accepted it, right click and enable the account

    Let me know if this helps!
