Creating a new user account in Windows 11 lets you share your computer safely with others while keeping your personal files separate. You can set up local or Microsoft accounts quickly.

Step 1: Open Settings

Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & Other Users.

Step 2: Add a New Account

Under Other Users, click Add Account.

Step 3: Choose Account Type

Select Add a Microsoft Account to sync across devices or I don’t have this person’s sign-in information to create a local account.

Step 4: Set Permissions

Once added, click the account name and choose Change Account Type if you want to make it an administrator.

Conclusion

Creating user accounts is essential for security and organization, especially when multiple people use one device.
