Google Workspace Upgrade HELP!

Topic

New Reply

Many (20?) years ago a I bought my own domain name, hosted it on bluehost, and had all my email forwarded to my gmail account. I also wanted all email sent to that address to show my private domain as the return address on my reply emails.  Apparently at some point Google decided to sign me up for G Suite Legacy Free Edition.  Since I wasn’t using any more functionality on Google, I didn’t notice anything changing.

Now Google wants me to upgrade to Google Workspace, but in order to do that I need to sign in to an Admin console with my admin login credentials.  In order to receive any support from Google, you must be using Google Workspace.  Unfortunately, since I don’t remember actually DOING anything to get G Suite Legacy Free Edition, I have NO idea what my admin login credentials are!  So I can’t ask Google for help, but I can’t get past the admin console that would unlock that help!  Can you say Catch-22>

HELP!!

Yes, and that’s where the button exists that says “I use this account for personal use”, which button press requires a “super administrator account” which I don’t know that I have, or if I do, I have no idea what it is.  Talk about “a maze of twisty little passages, all different!”  Anyway thanks — I had already read that article multiple times.
