Tutorial To Add Another Windows 8 User To Your Computer


Microsoft has always provided the users with quality whether it is software or hardware. The Windows range of operating systems has long been synonymous with PCs and they are hoping to continue that trend with the release of the latest Windows 8 operating system. With a host of new features added to the operating system, Windows 8 is fully capable of holding on its own against its competitors. The Windows 8 support team has provided the following guidelines that you can follow if you want to add another user to your Windows 8 computer.

Guidelines to follow

Start off the procedure by opening the Charms bar. Select the “Settings” option and then click on “Change PC Settings” button.
Go to the PC Settings screen and then click on the Users category. You will be able to see the “Your Account” screen on the screen of your computer, which will have methods that will help you to configure the settings of your account including another user to the account.
Click on the “Add a User” button to add a new user and then on the Add a User window, select the type of account that you want to create.
Two choices available; you can choose from two available accounts, local account and Microsoft account. A brief description of these accounts is given below.
Local account: If the user is not a person who would want the requirements offered by a Microsoft account, choose this option. It is a generic account and can be used for casual guests, family members and friends. Click on the “Don’t Want this Person to Sign In With a Microsoft Account?” option and then go to step 5.
Microsoft account: Only select this account when someone asks for it. This account has many features and can be used for many purposes.
Enter the email address of the account in to the Email Address box, click on the “Next” button and then click on the “Finish” button.
Click on the “Sign in without a Microsoft Account” option to display a screen with two button: Microsoft Account and Local Account.
Select the Local Account option and then enter a username, password, and password hint. Click on the “Next” button and then click on the “Finish” button.
These are the instructions from the Windows 8 support team that you need to follow. Creating a local account is an easy process.
