Administer / Standard User Accounts

Question

I want to set up my Microsoft Account with both an Administrator account for making changes and a Standard User account for everyday use.  However, I only have one email address.  How can I do this?  Or must I run as an administrator all the time?

Change a local user account to an administrator account

1. Select Start >Settings > Accounts , and then, under Family & other users, select the account owner name, then select Change account type.
2. Under Account type, select Administrator, and then select OK.
3. Sign in with the new administrator account.
