Windows 10 has logged on with a temporary user profile. After following this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-zlDqhxGAk), I accidentally deleted my main admin account. Now I only have the option of logging on to a local admin user.

As of this moment, the only thing I want to do, is throw my pc in the trash! But that wont happen before every solution is tested.

So: Is restoring the PC to its default the best solution? I have saved some of the files that I dont want to lose...

Cheers :)

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/
Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

Since you deleted you only admin account, I would clean install once you backup everything
change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
