Windows 10: Microsoft Hello options

My daughter is 5 years old and sometimes uses our computer. I do not wish her to have an email account as of yet. Is there a way to have her able to use this computer with Hello without setting up an email address for her?

Windows hello option is not available

Hello,

Thank you for writing to us.

Please be informed, in order to use Windows Hello you will need a compatible “depth” camera compatible device. Facial authentication will need a 3D depth camera to get it working. No existing webcams will not work. Additional features like
finger print authentication will work with any existing fingerprint sensor devices.

In order to active this feature, you must have the right hardware and the driver is installed.

Follow the below steps to configure Windows Hello.

• 
  Head to “Settings” and then click on “Accounts”, and next on “Sign-in options”.
  
• 
  Set up a PIN code (ignore this step if you already did) by click on “Add” button. Once you have done that step, the options to set up Windows Hello will visible.
  
• 
  You will see an option named “Face”, just click on “Set Up”.
  
• 
  Click on “Get started”.
  
• 
  Move yourself to the front of the camera and make sure your face is in the center of the frame. It will automatically register your face to the system.
  
• 
  There is an improvement option in the next step to improve recognition. Use it if you wear glasses (or not). It will help to make sure you are recognized in quality.
  

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
