How to setup TWO work accounts on one Windows 11 Pro machine

Question

I want to use a new computer HP as our church computer to be used by two different people with different profiles. Can this be done in a clean and simple way?

Answer 1

You can setup two local/Microsoft accounts on this system. AFAIK, Windows 11 Home doesn't support work account based of Azure AD/Active Directory.

Answer 2

Hello EFKAS Ft. Lewis - WA,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can set up two work accounts on a Windows 11 Home machine in a clean and simple way. Here are the steps to create separate user profiles for two different people:

1. Create User Accounts:

• Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.

• Under Other users, click on Add account.

• Choose I don't have this person's sign-in information, then select Add a user without a Microsoft account.

• Enter the username and password for the new account and click Next.

2. Switch Between Accounts:

• To switch between accounts, click on the Start button, then click on your profile picture.

• Select the other user account from the list and sign in.

3. Personalize Each Account:

• Each user can personalize their account settings, desktop background, and other preferences independently.

4. Set Up Work Accounts:

• Once the user accounts are created, each person can set up their work accounts by going to Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts.

• Click on Add account and follow the prompts to add their work email and other credentials.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
