I accidentally deleted the admin account on my Windows 10 computer, thinking it would stop the prompts asking for admin permissions. However, I still need to provide admin approval, and since I don't have an admin account anymore, I can't do that. This computer is second-hand from a relative who had kids, which is why there was an admin account in the first place. How can I fix this?

You might also want to check if you can make your main account an admin. If that's not an option, then yeah, a fresh install of Windows could be the way to go.
If all else fails, you can always turn off User Account Control (UAC) through the control panel. Just remember, turning off UAC means you won't be asked for permission anymore, so use that option carefully!
Wow, deleting the admin account is a bold move! You're probably going to need to reinstall your operating system since that seems to be the quickest way to sort this out. It might seem like a hassle, but it could save you a lot of headaches in the long run!
Have you considered enabling the built-in administrator account? If you Google how to do this via the command prompt, you should be able to create a new admin account from there. It’s a bit more technical but might be your best option!
You could try booting from a PE environment. Some of those setups come with tools to let you enable or set passwords for accounts, which would help you regain access. It’s not as complicated as it sounds, just be sure to follow a good guide!
