Why I am not an administrator in Windows 10 guest?

Post by jastrzebiec »

I do not know how to install Windows 10 as guest and have the administrator rights in it.
I have tried several times installation and each time I do not have administrator privileges.
It must be something with VB settings but which one?
Thanks,
jas

Did you use the Unattended Installation option when you made the VM?

I did not select 'Skip Unattended Installation'
Should I?
You are not clear on the subject.
Thanks,

If you did not choose "Unattended installation" then you installed Windows 10 manually, and the admin status of the user accounts you configured was up to you, or between you and Microsoft.
