When we format our Windows computer and it starts up for the first time, we will be asked to create a user , we also have the option to use a test user. If we want to create a new local user, we have to do it with the Windows settings, to do this, we must follow a series of steps shown below:
- On our Windows desktop, we have to look for an option that says “Add, edit or remove other people”, this option is found in the start button, from the system configuration.
- A window opens, in which we have to click where it says “Add another person to this team”.
- A new Microsoft account window will open, in it we will be asked for the name of who is going to use that account and a password, in addition to asking us to place 3 security questions.
- Once we fill in all the requested data, we have to click on the next button, as a consequence, a new local user will be created for us.
Something worth mentioning is that the Windows operating system allows us to log in automatically without entering the password , which can be a good option when logging into local user accounts.
