Create Local User Account in Windows 10 shows you how to create a local account in Windows 10 and more.

There has been a lot of changes made in Windows 10 since it came out. This tutorial is base on Windows 10 version 1809.

There are many reasons why you would create a second or more accounts in your computer. It can be related to the members in your family. You might want to have a second account in your computer or you might just want one account but without linking to your Microsoft online account.

In this tutorial you will learn how easy it is to create a local account in a few steps. In this example the local account will not have a password. It will have a user name and that is all.

Note: Creating a local account with out a passwords means you are not worried about the information in your computer. Otherwise you should add a password even if it is a local account and not connected to your Microsoft online account if you have one.

Create Local User Account in Windows 10

Step 1 ) First you need to access your user account settings. Click on Start -> Settings as illustrated in the image below.

Note: There are other ways to access the account settings for example press Windows+I to bring up the Settings app, and then click Accounts.

Step 6 ) On the next screen you can enter the following details as illustrated in the image below.

Who’s going to use this PC?

  • User name = In this example I will create the famous bob account. And I will not enter a password. This means that when you turn on your computer/ laptop it will log you in without having to enter a password as long as this is the only account. If you have more than one account, when the screen comes up select bob and it will log you in without typing a password.

Make it secure

  • Enter password
  • Re-enter password
  • Click on Next button when you finish creating the account.

  • Click on Remove button to delete the account.

Note: By default the local account is set up with Standard user privileges. It cannot install applications or make administrative changes to the computer. If you want to change it, click on Change account type button and select administrator.
