    Lost admin rights on only account

    I'm sorry, without installation media or administrator account your hands are tied. get new windows ISO from microsoft, create bootable media and run system restore. if that doesn't work you can just fresh install windows by using the same media. create backup first.

    Lost admin rights on only account

    If you do not have administrative account and can't create administrative account then there is not much you can do. it looks you have deleted the only administrative account?

    Should Sims 3 install/work on my Aspire|V5 - 531-571?

    you can just download the game and then active the game by using CD key. alternatively you can also import/download the game into steam and use the CD key found in CD box, to activate the game, and have it for future use.

    Libraries folders are just a shortcut to your user profile folders. C:\users\<yourusername>\documents C:\users\<yourusername>\pictures C:\users\<yourusername>\music C:\users\<yourusername>\videos the root folder of Libraries is therefore: C:\users\<yourusername>

    Can't shrink C partition in Windows 8.1 with diskmgmt

    I remember that, the thing you're talking about is a disk defragmenter known from XP era and earlier. defragmenters from new Windows versions do not show this data, but you can see it by using disk view ( link from my previous post ) As told by others your best bet is to make a backup and test...

    Does Windows 8.1 still need an anti-virus software?

    That's why there is a thing called compiler, you review source code and compile it on your own. or install software signed by trusted publisher. Also process monitor is your best bet if you're very sceptic, or want to be sure what programs do on runtime.

    No boot device on newly bought Windows 8 laptop

    Well as you can see there is no laptop's disk present, nothing can be done but to visit the place where you bought this laptop and ask for repair. since you still have valid warranty.
