Apparently when setup is complete, the user is the administrator. It's been so long since I set up a new system I don't remember how it played out. Should I set up a standard account or is win10 so protected (which I have heard) that I can just have one user account, admin? Thanks.

Best practice would be to create and use a standard account and only use the admin account for admin tasks such as installation of new applications.
