How to Create a New Local User Account in Windows 10
This article will show you how to create a new local user account on your Windows 10 computer. A local user account is different than a Microsoft account because with a local account, you don't need a Microsoft email address. Follow Method 1 if you are signed in to an Administrator account; follow Method 2 if you are signed in to a Standard account.
Steps

Open the Settings app. Click the Start Windows Start button and select the settings gear Windows Settings.

Go to the Accounts category.

Select Family & other people from the left pane.

Click + Add someone else to this PC. It's under the "Other people" category at the bottom, which means you might have to scroll down. Doing so will prompt a window to appear.

Wait a few seconds for the content to load.

Click "I don't have this person's sign-in information". It's the link at the bottom of the window that just appeared.

Click the "Add a user without a Microsoft account" link.

Fill out the details. Type a username and optionally, enter a password. If entering a password, you need to add a password hint.

Click the Next button.

Finished. The account will appear under the "Other people" header.

What's your reaction?
