    Can One Create User without creating a Email account?


    I am just dumb founded that I cannot create a user account without creating a email account for the user. I don't want to create a email for a child. This is unacceptable.
    Is there any way to create one without the invasion.

    :)

    Can you try creating a new "local" user on your computer? Here's how:

    • Go to Settings / Accounts, and choose to add someone else (not a family member)
    • When prompted for email or account, choose the options to proceed without signing into an account and without using an email address (creates a local account instead)
    • After created, click Start and then your user picture to find and switch to the new user account and test it out.

    Windows 10 Child Account

    How do I create a child account without an email address?

    How do I create a user account that is shared.. like just for gaming that I can set time limits on?

    There has to be another way than step 4..

    This is on a "PERSONAL COMPUTER" meaning just because I upgraded to Windows10 doesn't mean that we need to access the internet or email in order to create a child account... or create an email account for every user on the computer.

    Can One Create User without creating a Email account?

    Start - Settings - Accounts - Family & Other People (on the left) - Under Other People click Add Someone Else to this PC - I don't have this person's sign in information - Add a user without a Microsoft Account.

    That brings you to this window where you can create a local user account without any email address associated with it:

    OR

    click on start, type netplwiz, run the netplwiz command. Click Add button. Then Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended). Then click the Local Account button.
