How to create a Local User in Windows 10

Accounts allow several people to quite comfortably use the resources of one PC, since they provide the ability to separate user data and files. The process of creating such records is quite simple, so if you have such a need, just use one of the methods to add local accounts.
There are two ways to create new users in Windows 10, using the command line or using Windows settings. Let's start with the simplest method.

Creating a new user using Windows settings

1. Click the Start button and click on the gear-shaped icon Settings.
   
2. Go to Accounts.
   
3. Next, go to the Family & other users.
   
4. Select Add a work or school user.
   
5. In the window that opens, enter the username and password. Done.

Creating a new user using the Command Prompt

You can create an account much faster through the command line (cmd). To do this, you just need to perform such actions:

1. Run Command Prompt: Start - Windows System - Command Prompt.

2. Next, enter the following command:

   net user User Password /add

   Where instead of User and Password, we enter the username and password.
   

It is important to mention that to create and delete users, regardless of the method you choose, you must log in to the system as an administrator. This is a prerequisite. All these methods make it easy to add new accounts in Windows 10 and do not require special skills, which makes them accessible even for inexperienced users.
