I have added my husband as 'another user' with admin rights on my computer. Can I change this, adding him as a Family member instead?

If you want you can go to Accounts and delete the user account and add him as a Family member or you can change the user account to a standard user account.

What am I missing here? If he's already added to your PC as a user with an Admin account, why do you need to change to family member?

Or are you talking about adding him as a family member for Office???
