Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. The best option in most cases, though, is for everyone who uses your PC to have a Microsoft account. With a Microsoft account, you can access your apps, files, and Microsoft services across your devices.

If needed, the local user account can have administrator permissions; however, it's better to just create a local user account whenever possible. Caution: A user with an administrator account can access anything on the system, and any malware they encounter can use the administrator permissions to potentially infect or damage any files on the system.

Only grant that level of access when absolutely necessary and to people you trust. As you create an account, remember that choosing a password and keeping it safe are essential steps.

In some versions of Windows you'll see Other users. Select I don't have this person's sign-in information , and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account. Enter a user name, password, or password hint—or choose security questions—and then select Next. Open Settings and create another account. Change a local user account to an administrator account. Note: If you choose an account that shows an email address or doesn't say "Local account", then you're giving administrator permissions to a Microsoft account, not a local account.

Under Account type , select Administrator , and then select OK. If you're using Windows 10, version and later, you can add security questions as you'll see in step 4 under Create a local user account. With answers to your security questions, you can reset your Windows 10 local account password. Not sure which version you have?

Thanks for your feedback. I was trying to create an administrator account and users account in vista so i went to computer management and i was looking for the users and groups sign but i cannot find it. So i tried to go to microsoft management console MMC and add the local users and groups. I click the file tab and then add snap-ins but the computer doens't allow to continue.

Can you please give some advice how to resolve my problem? Thank you in advance. This thread is locked.
