Additional steps:

• After creating the new user account, you may need to set up the account's settings, such as the desktop background, default browser, and other preferences.
• You can also set up the new user account to use a Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID) by clicking on the "Sign in with a Microsoft account" option during the setup process.
• If you want to add a new user account with administrator privileges, you will need to use Method 1 or Method 2, as the Command Prompt method only allows you to create standard user accounts.
