How To Add A New User In Windows 10

Adding new users to your computer might be the response to taking care of the privacy of each member of a shared-owner computer. Also, in houses where all the family members share only one PC, security and privacy can be delicate issues to tackle. In this sense, adding a new user account to your Windows 10 can keep the information of each user in each user´s account. Read on, create another user and maintain family harmony.

Step 1
Pop-open the 'Start' Menu
Left click with your mouse over the 'Windows' logo located on the bottom-left side of your screen. The name of the Start Menu is not in vain; it shows the world at a single glance.



Step 2
Pop-open the ‘Settings’ Menu
Left click with your mouse over the ‘Settings’ option to open its menu. The ‘Settings’ menu is, as its name indicates, the dedicated place that Windows 10 provides for all the fine-tuning you can do to personalize your Windows experience.



Step 3
Access the ‘Accounts’ Menu
Click the ‘Accounts’ option on the ‘Settings’ menu. This menu is the dedicated option to create and sync all the existing Windows accounts and also create new ones.



Step 4
Access the ‘Family & Other Users’ Menu
Click on the ‘Family & Other Users’ menu on the left side of your screen. Clicking on this option will populate the right side of your screen with all the options regarding this menu and its possibilities.



Step 5
Click the ‘Add a Family Member’ or ‘Add someone else to this PC’ Options
Click either of these options. You can add the person clicking on either of the options.



Step 6
Enter the Email Address or avoid it
By entering the email address or clicking 'The person I want to add doesn´t have an email address'. Either of the options you choose will have an impact on the account created.



Step 7
Enter the Microsoft Account or avoid that information
You can enter the Microsoft account of the person to link their account or you can just click on 'I don´t have this person´s sign-in information'. This choice will either link the sign-in account of the new user with his or her Microsoft account or just be the user to have a personal session on the computer.



You can create as many users as you like and then select each of them from the starting menu.
