👥 Why Create Another User Account?

You may want another user account if:

• A spouse or family member uses your computer
• A grandchild visits and needs their own space
• You want to keep work and personal files separate

Each account has:

• Its own password
• Its own files
• Its own desktop background
• Its own settings

2. Click Settings.
3. Click Accounts.

🟦 Option 1: Add a Microsoft Account (Recommended)

2. Click Next.

🟦 Option 2: Add a Local Account (No Email)

One user cannot accidentally change another user’s setup.

💡 Confidence Tip for Seniors

Creating another user account does not affect your account.

It simply gives someone else their own space.

It’s like giving someone their own room in your house.

Organized and secure.
