I have been using the admin account since I purchased the pc. Nobody informed me differently. How do I transfer 5 years' files and work to a user account? Please try to let me know. Much appreciated.

If they're saved files in the my documents folder then just copy them to a folder on the root of the drive before making the user account. After you make the normal user account you can copy them back to the my documents folder for the new account. If you've installed all of your programs to work for everybody on the computer (This is the default action for 99% of programs) then they will work fine after you've created the new account. For specific program settings have a look in
C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\Application Data for folders named like the program and copy them to C:\Documents and Settings\<new user name>\Application Data
The main reason that you should use a normal user account is because the admin account is not limited in any way. If a virus gets in to your computer while you are using the admin account it has free run of everything. Using a normal account would limit it's actions to some extent.

Back up all your personal data from your PC right NOW. No back up in 5 years is crazy!!!
"Backup" means: copy (or Drag & Drop) your data to CD / DVD / external hard drive WEEKLY.
Then, you can restore it to any account (or PC) you want.
TIP: Store a 2nd full backup in a bank Safety Deposit Box, in case of fire, theft, etc.
