How to create a new user in Windows 10 (7): several ways. And also: how to make a user an administrator

Good day!

If several people work at one computer, it is much more convenient for everyone to create their own account (the so-called Windows user). Then no one will be confused about icons, programs, etc.

Sometimes, by the way, a new "accounting" is required when solving some errors and resetting a number of presets that were made in the current work account.

Actually, in this small note I will show several working ways of how this can be done.

Note! It's important to note that there are two types of accounts in Windows 10:

  1. accounts associated with Microsoft: require an e-mail address, and when working, they synchronize a number of parameters with the cloud online;
  2. local: the most common "accounts" that were in previous versions of Windows.

Of course, below we will consider both of these types ...

Create a Windows User: Working Ways

Option 1: universal methods (+ how you can make a user an administrator)

Through the command line

The good thing about this method is that it works in almost all versions of Windows *. And the command line eliminates the need to "climb" control panels and answer numerous questions ... 😉

Important: the command line must be run as administrator. To do this, just start the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del or Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and create a new "CMD" task (👇).

CMD as administrator

In the command line, copy the below green line and press Enter:

net user alex-local / add

note: instead of "alex-local" you need to specify your account name (it can be anything, but it is better to use the Latin alphabet and no special characters).

net user alex-local / add

After that, a new account will be created. Please note that the rights of the account will be custom !

User!

If you want to convert "user" to "administrators" (with extended rights) - use the following command:

net localgroup administrators alex-local / add

or

net localgroup administrators alex-local / add

Depending on the version of Windows OS.

net localgroup administrators alex-local / add

Actually, after that you can press the keyboard shortcut Win + L and log in as a new user! 👌

👉 By the way!

If you want to get administrator rights in Windows, but you only have access to the user profile - read this note

Through account management

We use the keyboard shortcut Win + R, and in the appeared window "execute" we enter the command control userpasswords2 .

control userpasswords2

Next, a window with a list of all accounts will open in front of us. Here you can:

  • add a new user;
  • change the rights for an existing one (for example, make an administrator from a user);
  • set (or remove) a password from an account.

In our case, to create another user, you need to click on "Add" .

Add Windows User

Next, you decide which account you need: local or Microsoft related (in my example, I will focus on the first ...).

If you need a Microsoft account, enter your e-mail and click next ...

After that, a window will appear in front of you, which presents all the features of each type of recording. We just click on the item: "Local account" .

Difference between local account and Microsoft related

Well, and the final touch: set the name and password (if necessary). I recommend using the Latin alphabet ...

We set the name and password

Option 2: via Windows options

Open the START menu and go to the OS parameters (you can just press the combination of buttons Win + I).

After we click on the section accounts (👇).

Windows 10 settings

Next, go to the tab "Family and other users" and add a new user.

Adding a user

Microsoft will only ask you for your work email address. 👇

We indicate e-mail

After, you can press the combination Win + L and log in with a new account ...

User created

Problem solved? .. 👌

That's it for now ... Criticism is welcome!

Have a nice day!
