I have already created a new admin account and disabled the original "Admin" account" but I use the new admin account for everything. Is this a bad idea? If so, am I able to disable and reenable my new admin account when logged into a regular user account?
Thanks

That’s a bad idea.

Hmm. Why would you want to disable it and enable it?

Use it for the tasks that require admin privileges. Use your regular account for everything else.
A regular user doesn’t have the privilege to control other users accounts, let alone an admin privileged account.
