How to Create a Local User Account
Add a separate local Windows account without reusing another person's profile.
Follow the steps in order and stop if the screen or target does not match what is described. Use administrator access only when the task requires it.
Use separate accounts
Do not share one person's account or password with another user.
Open Other users
Press Windows + I, select Accounts, then Other users or Family & other users.
Start Add account
Select Add account. Choose the option for someone without sign-in information, then Add a user without a Microsoft account.
Create the account
Enter a unique user name, a strong password, and accurate recovery questions where offered.
Keep standard privileges
Leave the account as Standard User unless it genuinely needs administrator rights.
Test sign-in
Sign out and verify the new account can sign in and access only the intended resources.
