Setting up user accounts in Windows 11 is a simple process, but it can be a little confusing for beginners. This chapter of our e-book aims to provide a step-by-step guide to help you set up user accounts in Windows 11.
Step 1: Open Control Panel
To get started, click the Start button on the taskbar and select "Settings." This will open the Control Panel, which is where you can make changes to your computer's settings.
Step 2: Navigate to User Accounts
In the Settings window, click "Accounts" in the left menu. This will open a new window with several options related to your user account.
Step 3: Add a New User Account
To add a new user account, click "Family and other users" in the left menu. Then click "Add someone else to this PC" in the "Other users" section.
Step 4: Fill in Account Information
A pop-up window will appear asking you to enter your new account information. If you want to create a Microsoft account, you can enter an email address or phone number. If you want to create a local account, click "I don't have this person's sign-in information" and then "Add a user without a Microsoft account."
Step 5: Set a Username and Password
After choosing the type of account you want to create, you will be asked to set a username and password for the account. Make sure you choose something that you can easily remember but that is difficult for others to guess.
Step 6: Configure Security Questions
After setting a username and password, you will be asked to set up some security questions. These questions will help protect your account and recover your password if you forget it.
Step 7: Configure Permissions
Finally, you will need to set permissions for the new account. If you want the new account to have administrative access, be sure to check the "Administrator account" box. Otherwise, leave this box unchecked.
Step 8: Finalize Configuration
After configuring all account information, click "Next" to finish the configuration. The new user account should now be available on the login screen.
