The account will have its own separate OneDrive storage. You can click your account name and log in with your Microsoft account password. Or you can restart the PC: The Windows login screen will now have two accounts on it - yours and the administrator’s. Click your account name and log into your account with your Microsoft account password. That displays all the accounts on the PC. You can click the icon representing the account of the current user of the PC, midway down on the left side of the Start menu.
If you’re the owner of the new account, there are two ways to start using it. When an account name is clicked in the Start menu, it will show all of the accounts on the machine. It also appears when you click the icon representing the current user of the PC, midway down on the left side of the Start menu when you click the Start button. The user’s name now appears on the “Family & other users” accounts page. On the screen that appears, enter the email address of the person for whom you want to create a user account, click OK and then Finish. (Click any image in this story to enlarge it.) IDGĪfter you create an account for someone else, the name appears on the Accounts page. To set up accounts for family members that let you set age limits, game and app restrictions, etc., instead choose Add a family member under the “Your family” section.

Later on I’ll show you how to set up an account if they don’t have one and don’t want to register for one, but note that you can’t set up restrictions for family members unless they sign in with a Microsoft account. Anybody can sign up for a Microsoft account for free.įor now, we’ll assume that the person you want to add has a Microsoft account.
#Share syn install#
Ideally, this should be the sign-in information for their Microsoft account (such as an or address or a corporate email address at an organization that uses Outlook) so they’ll be able to use all of their existing Windows settings, get access to their OneDrive storage, and download and install apps from the Microsoft Store. First you’ll need the email address of the person for whom you want to set up an account. If you’re an administrator, setting up a user account is easy.
#Share syn upgrade#
(You can also upgrade other user accounts to administrator status, as I’ll cover later in the story.) The administrator account is established when Windows is first installed or used on the machine. One person, the PC’s administrator, sets up and manages all the accounts, including a variety of system settings that only the administrator can access. Each person gets their own storage, applications, desktops, settings, and so on. To do it, you create separate accounts for each person who will use the computer. Windows 10 makes it easy for multiple people to share the same PC.
