Windows 10: Having 1 account being used on 2 pcs simultaneously

Hello,We have 2 pcs in our family. I am working mostly on mine and my brother mostly play games. We want to buy Ultimate game pass but we want to share it as we dont want to pay for 2 passes when I play games only few times a month. Do I need to log my microsoft account to his computer so he can play games from the pass when I am working?

1 PC, 2 Account users

Hi Matthew,

Yes, it is possible by creating an administrator account. Just to clarify, which version and build of Windows device are you using? To verify your Windows, press
Windows + R to open the Run window. Type WINVER
and press Enter. A new window will open showing the version and build number of your Windows device.

To create a new user account, follow the steps below:

On Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional editions:

• First, click Start, then select Settings.
• Select Accounts, then select Family & other people.
• Then, Add someone else to this PC.
• Lastly, enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

On Windows 10 Enterprise edition:

• First, click Start, then select Settings.
• Select Accounts, then click Other people.
• Then, Add someone else to this PC.
• At the bottom of the page, select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information, and at the bottom of the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.
• Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

Note:

• To help keep your personal data and info more secure, we recommend adding a password when creating a local account.
• Once you create a password for a local account, don't forget it—there is no way to recover a lost password for local accounts.
  

To make the new account an administrator account:

• Select Start, then click Settings.
• Click Account, then select Family & other people (or Other people, if you're using Windows 10 Enterprise), and select Change account type.
• Under Account type, select Administrator, then click OK.
• Restart your machine and sign in with the new administrator account.

Update us on the result.
