We have a new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 c/w Windows 11 Pro. As the machine’s owner is already using OneDrive, he set up the device with his Microsoft Account. The user’s credentials now show him having Administrator privileges.
We’re used to having only local accounts on our machines; those local accounts have been syncing to OneDrive just fine. However, we always have those accounts set up as Standard users, and on each machine we also have an Administrator account set up. (We live with the annoying UAC pop-up, or we log in as Administrator when we want to install new software etc.)
I understand there is a disabled Administrator account on this new ThinkPad. Could we give this account a password, enable it, and then use the credentials in the way we’ve been doing all along? Could we then change the laptop owner’s account to a Standard account without affecting the interaction with OneDrive?
