WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.074 In this video, we're going to talk about adding different user accounts on Windows 10, 00:00:05.092 --> 00:00:08.372 as well as how to set parental controls, and more. 00:00:08.594 --> 00:00:14.834 There are a few different ways to do this, but you'll always start by clicking the Start button 00:00:16.158 --> 00:00:17.518 Selecting Settings 00:00:18.382 --> 00:00:20.702 Then opening the Accounts option. 00:00:22.977 --> 00:00:27.617 From there, select Family & other users on the left side of the screen. 00:00:28.468 --> 00:00:33.188 Then, scroll down to Other Users and select Add someone else to this PC. 00:00:33.692 --> 00:00:39.532 Now if the person you want to add already has their own Microsoft account, you can simply 00:00:39.532 --> 00:00:42.102 Add their email address here, then click Next. 00:00:42.102 --> 00:00:47.706 Now if you want to add someone without a Microsoft account, you'll start the same way. 00:00:47.706 --> 00:00:51.703 Under the Other users section, select Add someone else to this PC. 00:00:51.703 --> 00:00:58.280 A dialog box will appear. At the bottom, choose The person I want to add doesn't have an email address. 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.450 An account creation page will appear. From here you can create a new email address for this user, 00:01:05.215 --> 00:01:09.935 or select Add a user without a Microsoft account to create a local user. 00:01:11.867 --> 00:01:18.587 A local user is one that does not require a Microsoft account and does not need the Internet to sign in. 00:01:18.995 --> 00:01:25.875 From there, you'll just need to enter a few details, like the user's name, password, and password hint. 00:01:26.117 --> 00:01:28.117 When you're done, click Next. 00:01:28.117 --> 00:01:34.604 Now if you're using your computer at home, you can use the parental control features to set up a managed account for your children. 00:01:34.697 --> 00:01:40.617 To do this, start from the Family & other users settings, then select Add a family member. 00:01:40.940 --> 00:01:47.260 A dialog box will appear. From here, select Add a child, then enter that child's email address. 00:01:48.987 --> 00:01:55.987 Do note that if you want to set up parental controls on Windows 10, that user will need an email address and their own Microsoft account. 00:01:57.014 --> 00:02:03.414 Unlke previous versions of Windows, you won't be able to set parental controls for a local user. 00:02:03.414 --> 00:02:08.162 The newly added family member will then need to confirm the invitation to your family. 00:02:08.162 --> 00:02:11.831 Once they've accepted the invitation, come back to the Family & other users settings 00:02:11.831 --> 00:02:14.360 and choose Manage family settings online. 00:02:14.785 --> 00:02:20.225 A new page will appear, and from here you can choose which users you want to manage. 00:02:20.346 --> 00:02:26.506 For example, you can set restrictions on web browsing by blocking inappropriate websites. 00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:31.060 Apps an games downloaded from the WIndows store. 00:02:35.828 --> 00:02:42.828 The Screen time settings even allow you to control how much time users can spend on the computer, as well as when they're allowed to use it. 00:02:43.204 --> 00:02:47.444 There's one other important setting we'd like to show you here. 00:02:47.444 --> 00:02:50.922 By default, your computer has one Administrator account. 00:02:50.922 --> 00:02:56.497 It's the one that you first set up when you started using Windows 10, and it's probably your account by default. 00:02:56.497 --> 00:03:00.918 But if you want other people to have Administrator level control over the computer, 00:03:02.138 --> 00:03:06.778 which allows them to install new software and change system settings 00:03:06.905 --> 00:03:09.785 you can make them an Administrator as well. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.880 To do this, simply select the user, click Change account type 00:03:15.372 --> 00:03:20.892 then choose Administrator from the drop-down menu in the dialog box that appears. 00:03:21.762 --> 00:03:25.042 Ok, there's one other thing we'd like to show you. 00:03:25.042 --> 00:03:32.042 If you're currently signed in, it's easy to sign out of your account so other users can sign or, or quickly switch between accounts. 00:03:32.678 --> 00:03:38.678 To do this, click the Start button, then select the current user near the top-left corner. 00:03:38.678 --> 00:03:44.560 From there you can sign out of your account, or click another account to quickly switch between them. 00:03:44.922 --> 00:03:49.322 And that's it! Those are the basics of user accounts on Windows 10!
