How to add accounts on your PC?

This article describes how to add or remove accounts on your PC. Having different accounts on a shared PC lets multiple people use the same device, all while giving everyone their own sign-in info, plus access to their own files, browser favorites, and desktop settings.

Add people to a home PC

On Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional editions:

1. Select Start  > Settings  > Accounts  > Family & other users.
2. Under Other users, select Add someone else to this PC. 
3. Enter that person's Microsoft account information and follow the prompts.

If you need to remove that person's sign-in information from your PC:

1. Select Start  > Settings  > Accounts  > Family & other users. 
2. Select the person's name or email address, then select Remove. Note that this will not delete the person's Microsoft account, it will just remove their sign-in info from your PC.

Add people to a work or school PC

To add someone with an existing Microsoft account:

1. Select Start  > Settings  > Accounts  > Other users (in some Windows editions, it may be labeled as Other people or Family & other users).
2. Under Work or school users, select Add a work or school user.

If you need to remove that person's sign-in information from your PC:

1. Select Start  > Settings  > Accounts  > Other users.

Add work or school accounts to your PC

If you're using the same PC for both personal and school or business work, you may want to add various accounts to your PC to make it easier for you to get to the files, apps, and information associated with each account.
