Adding/Deleting a user account on the computer

Adding users:

  1. Press Win + I to open the Settings screen and go to Accounts > Family & other users.

  2. Click Add account under Other users.

  3. When your computer is connected to the Internet, you can simply add an account by entering the user's email address or phone number and following the onscreen instructions.

  4. If you want to add a local account, go to I don't have this person's sign-in information > Add a user without a Microsoft account.

  5. Enter the new account information and click Next.

Deleting users:

 
  • Deleting a user account also deletes all data such as photos, games, music, videos, files, and desktop apps for that user. Back up important data before performing this operation.
  • If there is a folder shared between two user accounts, deleting one of the user accounts also deletes the shared folder in the other user's account.
  • If the computer has only one account, the account cannot be deleted.
  1. Press Win + I to open the Settings screen and go to Accounts > Family & other users.

  2. Select the account you want to delete under Other users and click Remove.
