When setting up a new Windows 11 laptop, I accidentally typed my e-mail address incorrectly. This incorrect account is now the Administrator account. I have managed to create a second user account with the correct e-mail address, but I cannot make it the Administrator and delete the incorrect account. I have read other threads but they do not offer a workable solution to this specific problem.

Hi JulieZhu4
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Log into the old account, then click the Start Button, then just type netplwiz and press Enter.
On the resulting utility, select the new account and click Advanced, you should be able to set that account as a member of the Administrators group.
Then log into the new account, open netplwiz again and delete the old account with the incorrect Email.
