How do I add a user to my computer?

Question

Hi,

I am using Windows 11. How do I add a user to my computer account?

I need to do this because my Office 365 subscription is linked to a different email to my computer email.

To add a user to your Windows 11 computer, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Settings by pressing Windows + I.
2. Click on Accounts.
3. Select Family & other users from the left sidebar.
4. Under the Other users section, click on Add someone else to this PC.
5. You will be prompted to enter the email address of the person you want to add. If they don’t have a Microsoft account, you can select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information and then choose Add a user without a Microsoft account.
6. Follow the prompts to set up the new user account, including entering a username and password.
7. Once completed, the new user will be added to your computer.

This process will allow the new user to sign in and access their own settings and files, separate from your account.
