How To Create A New User In Windows 10 Computer
14Windows 10 allows you to create multiple user accounts; each account saves certain settings and allows you to control files and folders separately. Below are the procedures that you can follow to get a new user account set up on your new computer.

Creating separate local accounts for your kids or other users means that they can set things up the way they want, have separate user folders—Documents, Pictures, and so on—and ensure that those dubious Minecraft downloads they find on shady websites don’t infect your account.
