    Making a old school secondary local account


    Hi! I need help with setting up a secondary local account. I want to have two seperate local accounts on same computer and same system. I don't want having same files for both accounts (for example now games that I own on admistrator account are also on secondary guest account)

    Can you help me?

    Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
