My Administrator account has gone haywire due to the fact that my domain got dropped. How best to get this running again with another email? I have many other domains and gmails I could use instead. But I cannot figure how to fix this. I started adding an email to my administrator account but found that didn't work for my administrator. How is the best way out of this mess?

You have to give more info than that. What do you mean by gone haywire? Give details.What led up to this? Are you unable to log in? What message are you getting. Is it a MS account?
It sounds to me as though this machine is owned by a company. Do you own this machine? If so why was it a member of domain?

I can login. It's a MS Account. Nope I own the machine. But the email account doesn't exist any longer. So I want to change the email account to a live email account. I cannot figure how to do that.

If you can log in as Admin, go to Settings, Accounts, Add User and then make that new account an Administrator. Eventually you could delete the problematic account.

So would that mean I would have both the existing email and the new email both as Administrator accounts active at the same time?

That is interesting. I didn't realize that. So how many administrator accounts can we have in 1 Microsoft account?

I don't understand you. A Windows PC can have many accounts, multiple User accounts and multiple Admins, I don't know if there is an upper limit. I have two accounts on my PCs, one Admin and one User. I normally log in with my User account as this is safer when connected to the internet. Any time I need the Admin I just have to use Hello or the Admin password.

Each account needs its own Microsoft Account or a local account. I just added a second Admin account as a test and set it up as a local account.
