    Creating a Local Account in Windows 10?


    Hi guys,

    When setting up Windows 10 to create a Local Account, do I need to have my Last Name there or can I have only my First name?

    I am only setting up a Local Account and NOT a Microsoft account.

    So can I enter my First name only when I create my local account or do I need to have my Last name as well.

    Please see image.

    I am the only one using my notebook.

    :)

    Creating a local account in Win10 pro

    How do I create a local account in Win10 Pro? I've created local accounts on my laptop with Win10 Home by
    • Select ' Accounts'> 'Family & other users'.
    • 'Add someone else to this PC'

      and then going through the account creation process, however my Win10 Pro doesn't have the option for Accounts'> 'Family & other users'. and I can't find a way of creating the account.

    Creating a local account in Win10 pro

    Hi Gordon as I've said there's no problem with my laptop running Win10 Home but the option to create a fresh local account doesn't seem available to me on Win10 Pro. I have two Admin account the original is screwed and inactive due the now infamous critical
    start & Cortana error although going back into that account through the control panel I can see the option is there under accounts however if I try to create an account nothing happens. Once the second admin account is running satisfactorily I'll have to
    delete the original as I can't hold my breath waiting for Microsoft to resolve the critical error. Attached below is the screen dump of the accounts page.
