How To Create A New User Account In Windows 10 [Tutorial]

Описание: How to create a new local user account on Windows 10.

This video will walk through the steps of creating a new account in Windows 10. While we follow through with making a local account, along the way you can branch out by selecting or creating a Microsoft-based account for the new user to be linked to.

Creating a secondary account for yourself (so you’re not always logged on with administrative privileges) is a great idea and one that significantly increases the security of your machine. Creating separate local accounts for your kids or other users means that they can set things up the way they want, have separate user folders—Documents, Pictures, and so on—and ensure that those dubious Minecraft downloads they find on shady websites don’t infect your account.

While you might be inclined to use the Microsoft account for the online features it provides, a standard local account—the kind you had in Windows 7 and previous versions—is great for people who don’t want to link their login to Microsoft and it’s a perfect fit for kids who don’t need all the extras (and might not even have an email address to link to the account in the first place).

Let’s take a look at the process for creating new local user accounts in Windows 10.
