New User added to my computer

To add a new user account on a Windows 10 home laptop and let that person sign in:

1. Open Settings from the Start menu.
2. Select Accounts.
3. Select Other user (or Family & other users, depending on your build).
4. Under Add other user, select Add account.
5. Choose how to set up the account:
   • If the person already has a Microsoft account, enter their email address and follow the prompts.
   • If they do not have a Microsoft account, enter their existing email and select Sign up for a new email address, or
   • Select I don't have this person's sign-in information, then choose Add a user without a Microsoft account to create a local account.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish creating the account.

If the new user needs administrator rights (for example, to install apps):

1. Go back to Settings > Accounts > Other user.
2. Under Other users, select the account you just created.
3. Select Change account type.
4. In Account type, choose Administrator, then select OK.

Note: Limit administrator accounts to only those who really need full control of the device to reduce security risks.
