How to create a new User Account or Profile in Windows 10

In this post, we will see how to set up, add, configure and create a new User Account in Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. You can create a user account with a Microsoft Account login or you can create a Local Account by following this tutorial.

The Windows OS lets multiple users share the same computer under their accounts. This allows several people easily share a single computer and have their own location on the computer where they can store their personal documents, pictures, videos, saved games, and other personal data. You can have more than one user account per PC.

You can create a new user account in Windows 10 in two ways:

1] Creating a Microsoft Account

2] Creating a Local Account
