It goes without saying that several registered users can work on one computer terminal, for which special accounts are used. How to add an account in Windows 10 will be discussed later. Actually, the scheme for its creation in general terms does not differ much from what was done in the predecessor systems of a lower rank, however it was in the tenth version that some additional tools appeared that were simply absent in older OSs. Therefore, the procedure may be different.
How to add an account in Windows 10: standard method
Creating a new registration in the tenth modification of Windows is not so difficult. You can use the old proven method - calling the appropriate section of the "Control Panel". True, the panel itself, if you don’t know the essence of the issue, will be difficult for an ordinary user to find, since the main Start menu does not. Therefore, the easiest way is to call the Run console and enter control in it.
After that, you need to go to the accounts section, select the management of another registration and use the line to add a new user. But! The trick is that after that, a redirect to the settings menu will immediately occur, which in Windows 10 is the main panel. So isn’t it easier to call it immediately, using the same “Start” button for this?
How to add an account in Windows 10? There is nothing easier. We enter the menu "accounts" and go to the section of the family and other users. At the bottom right there is a line for adding a new user, to the left of which there is a button with a plus sign. Click on it and follow the instructions.
Create registration without mail and a Microsoft account
However, most users have difficulties adding a registration at a certain stage.
Firstly, the "Wizard" requires you to enter the personal data of a new user, including email, and secondly, offers to create a Microsoft registration. However, the problem of how to add an account in Windows 10 without mail is solved quite simply.
When the registration window appears, you just need to use the line located a little lower, which says that you do not have such data.
Similarly, at the stage when it is proposed to create a Microsoft registration, it is alleged that for the expanded use of the corporation's software products, you should use the add item without registering.
How to add an account in Windows 10 with administrator rights through the command line?
Now the most important thing. The main problem when registering a new user in the system is that his record will refer to an ordinary user who does not have rights to change the global settings of the operating system, edit its parameters or perform any specific actions with files and programs. Therefore, such rights must be granted.
The fastest way to add a new user, and to grant admin rights, is to use the command line, but run as administrator.
In the console, you need to write the following:
- to add a user - net user Name Password / add;
- to add to the administrator group - net localgroup Name / add.
The name and password are entered arbitrarily, but when specifying the user name, the use of Cyrillic characters is unacceptable.
Administrative rights when registering in a group
How to add a user to Windows 10, figured out. With administrator rights, too. However, the system has another equally effective means for granting admin rights, which is suitable for all those who do not like to use the command line.
To call this tool in the Run menu, you need to enter the lusrmgr.msc command, to add a user, select the user category and use the context menu via RMB. When entering the group membership section, the RMB menu is also used, with which another registered user is added to the selected group.
Finally, in the parameters, you can select the account section and apply a change in the registration type for the selected “account” by setting the value to “Administrator”.
Which method to prefer
Based on the foregoing, it is clear that the fastest method that allows you to create an "account" and immediately add it to the group of administrators is to use the command line, although all the above methods are absolutely equivalent to each other. Just entering commands into the console saves time, and the result is exactly the same as when calling various kinds of additional menus, sections, and services.
