Hi @williatx12,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Changing the administrator email on an HP Notebook - 15 involves updating the email associated with the Microsoft account (if you're using one to log in) or managing the local user accounts if you're using a local account. Here are the steps for both scenarios.

If Using a Microsoft Account

Sign in to the Microsoft Account Website:

• Go to account.microsoft.com.
• Sign in with your current Microsoft account credentials.

Update Your Email Address:

• Navigate to the Your Info section.
• Click on Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
• Add a new email address (if it’s not already listed) by selecting Add Email.
• Verify the new email address through the link Microsoft sends to your new email.
• Once verified, set the new email as your Primary Alias.
• You can remove the old email if you no longer need it.

Sign Out and Sign Back In:

• Restart your laptop and sign in using the updated email address.

If Using a Local Account

Open the Settings App:

• Press Windows + I to open Settings.
• Navigate to Accounts > Your Info.

Switch to a Microsoft Account (Optional):

• If you're currently using a local account and wish to change to a Microsoft account with the new email, select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead and follow the prompts.

Change Account Name Locally (For Local Accounts):

• Open Control Panel.
• Go to User Accounts > User Accounts > Manage another account.
• Select your account and choose Change the account name or add a new account with a different email.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter issues with permissions or ownership, you may need to log in as another administrator to make the changes.
• If the administrator email is tied to an organizational or domain account, you may need to contact your IT department for assistance.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
