The default on install is one account, admin, with administrator status. If I'm going to be the only user and I'm going to have administrator status is there any reason to create a 2nd account for myself? Why not just use the default admin account?

I'm running a freshly installed Win10 64bit.

If you wanted to add a bit of computer security you would add a non-admin account and do web browsing, general usage, etc stuff on that. Avoids some of the risk of that account getting compromised since its not an admin account
