Returning to Take Ownership

P

Logged in as Admin.
In Security / General I see several users.
I don't see the user of this computer.
I add this user / Bill / will Full Control.

In Advanced / Owner I see only my admin account/ and the Administrator
account.
If Bill is not listed in 'Owner' how do I allow him to 'take
ownership' ?
I added Bill / deleted Bill ; logged out ; logged in ; and fiddled
endlessly.
There's no ability to 'Add' -Bill - as owner. How can I do this?

This is Bill's computer.

Why I post is that I brought over to his desk a hard drive / USB /
with advertising photos.
When the device was detected the message insisted on logging into the
drive as Administrator. I was thinking there's an easier way than the
Administrator having to go to Bill's computer every time he needs to
do a basic workday chore.

Please help me solve this problem adding Bill into Take Ownership. If
I can get Bill to Take Ownership that should solve a few problems.

Thanks

Yeah, he'd better be careful in case Bill finds out.

Bill might have one of these.

Log on as Bill, then seize ownership. If necessary, make him temporarily a
member of the Administrators group.
