How to create new user account in windows 10
Creating a new user account in Windows 10 is a straightforward process. Here are the steps:
Method 1: Create a new user account using the Settings app
- Click on the Start button and select the Settings icon (it looks like a gear).
- Click on "Accounts" from the Settings window.
- Click on "Family & other users" from the left menu.
- Click on "Add someone else to this PC" at the bottom of the window.
- Click on "I don't have this person's sign-in information" and then click on "Add a new user".
- Enter the new user's name, email address, and password. You can also add a password hint if you want.
- Click on "Next" and then click on "Finish".
Method 2: Create a new user account using the User Accounts control panel
- Press the Windows key + X and select "Control Panel" from the menu.
- Click on "User Accounts" from the Control Panel window.
- Click on "Manage another account" and then click on "Create a new account".
- Enter the new user's name, email address, and password. You can also add a password hint if you want.

Method 3: Create a new user account using the Command Prompt

Regardless of the method you choose, the new user account will be created and added to the Windows 10 system. The new user will have their own set of files, settings, and applications, and will be able to log in to the system independently.
Note: If you're creating a new user account for a child or someone who needs additional restrictions, you may want to consider setting up a Family Safety account or a Child account, which can help you manage their online activities and access to certain features and applications.
