How do I create Windows user accounts? [Bitdefender Windows 8 Security]

A Windows user account is a unique profile that includes all the settings, privileges and personal files for each user. Windows accounts let the home PC administrator control access for each user.

Setting up user accounts comes in handy when the PC is used by both parents and children – a parent can set up accounts for each child.

Choose which operating system you have to find out how to create Windows accounts.

Log on to your computer as an administrator.
Point your mouse to the upper right corner of the screen, click Settings and then click Change PC settings.
Click Users in the left side menu and then click Add a user.

You can create either a Microsoft account or a Local account. Read the description of each account type and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.

	Note
	Now that you have added new user accounts, you can create passwords for the accounts.
