in this video we're going to talk about
adding different user accounts on
Windows 10 as well as how to set
parental controls and more there are a
few different ways to do this but you'll
always start by clicking the start
button selecting settings then opening
the accounts option from there select
family and other users from the left
side of the screen then scroll down to
other users and select add someone else
to this PC now if the person you want to
add already has their own Microsoft
account you can simply add their email
address here then click Next
now if you want to add someone without a
Microsoft account you'll start the same
way under the other users section select
add someone else to this BC a dialog box
will appear and at the bottom choose the
person I want to add doesn't have an
email address an account creation page
will appear from here you can either
create a new Microsoft account or select
add a user without a Microsoft account
to create a local user a local user is
one that won't need to connect to the
Internet to sign into the computer and
doesn't need a Microsoft account or an
email address from there you'll just
need to enter a few details like the new
username and password as well as the
password hint when you're done click
Next now if you're using your computer
at home you can use the parental control
feature so setup a managed account for
your children to do this start from the
family and other users section then
click add a family member a dialog box
will appear select add a child and then
enter that child's email address do you
note that if you want to set up parental
controls for a child on Windows 10 that
user will need an email address and
their own Microsoft account unlike
previous versions of Windows you won't
be able to set parental controls for a
local user account the newly added
family member will then need to confirm
their invitation to your family once
they've accepted the invitation come
back to the account settings and choose
manage family settings on
a new page will appear and from here you
can choose which users you want to
manage for example you can set
restrictions on web browsing by blocking
and appropriate websites
apps and games downloaded from the
Windows Store
the screen time settings even allow you
to control how much time user can spend
on the computer on any given day as well
as when they can use it
there's one other important setting that
you should know about here by default
your computer has one administrator
account it's the one that you first
created when you set up Windows 10 and
it's probably your account by default
but if you want other people to have
administrator level control over the
computer which allows them to install
new programs or make changes to the
overall system settings you can make
them an administrator as well to do this
simply select the user click Change
account type
then choose administrator from the drop
down menu that appears in the dialog box
ok there's one other thing we'd like to
show you about user accounts if you're
currently signed in it's easy to sign
out of your account so that someone else
can sign in or switch between accounts
to do this click the Start menu then
select the current user from the top
left of the Start menu from there you
can sign out of the current account or
click a different account name to
quickly switch between them and that's
it those are the basics of user accounts
on Windows 10
