Windows 10: Create a second generic account

I have created an account on this pc, password protected at sign-in, for administrative/personal use.

Now I want to create a second generic account so others can use the pc, no password is necessary on that one.

I had this before in Windows 7, but I am stumped how to do it in Windows 10.

Any thoughts? Thanks!!

:)

 

How Create a Second Local Admin Account on a Windows 10

Thank you. I already know this process. When I create another new admin account and log in with it, I cannot see all my family photos under the other admin account profile.

I get a new profile with empty document, music and photo folders.

 

How Create a Second Local Admin Account on a Windows 10

Hi Gary,

Creating a second local account and getting the same access as your primary account is possible in Windows. To resolve your concern, you may follow the steps in this
article in creating a local user or administrator
account.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.

 

open Settings, go to Accounts, go to Family & other users, and click "Add someone else to this PC". A new window will appear to help set up the account. In this window, click "The person I want to add doesn't have an email address", click "Add a user without a Microsoft account", choose the username and leave the password field empty, then click "Finish".

That worked. Thanks!! I was able to create a second account that does not need a password.

Now, I am trying to figure out why the sign in screen is always presenting that second account when I restart the pc and not presenting both accounts so I can click on one or the other. It's like it's defaulting to the second account now.

 

Ok! I have to sign out ​of the account. All's well now. Thanks again.
