Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Open your “Control Panel,“ which is located on your “Start” menu under “Settings.“ It may also be on your “Desktop.“
Step2
Click on “Users Accounts.“ This will show you the administrator of the computer.
Step3
Look at the various things that you can do on this page. You can set up other users, change or remove your password, change your picture or account type and manage another account.
Step4
Select “Manage another Account.“ This shows all the users for this computer. You can “Create a New Account” here or you can change the type of account each user has.
Step5
Pick “Create another Account” and click on it. Type in the name you want to call this new account. For example if you want to create an account for your child, you call the new account by the child’s name. Decide on whether this user will be a “Standard User” or an “Administrator.“ Most of the time you will want to make the user a “Standard User,“ but if you are getting a new computer and turning this computer over to someone else, you need to make them an “Administrator.“
Step6
Change the computer’s administrator. Pick a “User” or create a new user. Make them the administrator as described in Step 5. Delete the old administrator’s account or change it to a standard user.
