I cant change my admin account email due to it being hacked over minecraft a while back. The microsoft account for that email has been taken and I no longer have access to that Microsoft account anymore. I was finally gonna activate windows after years of not doing so, but I dont think I can or should due to that account being hacked, what should I do?
