First, open the Windows Control Panel. To do this, type “control panel” into the search bar near the Start menu button and press Enter on your keyboard.
On the left side of the control panel, there should be an icon labeled “User Accounts – manage user accounts”. Click this to open the window.
If you already have multiple user accounts on the computer, they should show up in the main window with their names, email addresses, and icons. You can click on each individual account to change its settings or delete it altogether.
To create a new user account, click on the “Add a new user in PC settings” link at the bottom of the window. You will be taken to the “PC Settings” page where you can enter the credentials for the new user account. Once done, click “Next” to continue setting up the account.
Once the account has been created, you can go back to the “User Accounts” window in the Control Panel. Here, you can edit the settings of the account by clicking the “Change the account type” link. For example, if you want to make the account a Standard User, then you can click on the drop-down menu and select “Standard User”.
You can also click “Manage another account” to switch to another account on the PC. This can be useful if you need to approve or deny changes made by other users.
Finally, if you no longer need a user account, you can delete it by selecting it in the list of user accounts and clicking “Delete the account” at the bottom of the window. Be aware that deleting an account will remove all of its data, so make sure that any important files have been backed up before deleting the account.
Managing user accounts through the Windows control panel is easy and intuitive. With a few clicks, you can add, delete, and configure user accounts based on your needs.
