Add Microsoft Account in Windows 11

Having different accounts on a shared PC lets multiple people use the same device, all while giving everyone their own sign-in info, plus access to their own files, browser favorites, and desktop settings.

You can add a local user account (an offline account) or Microsoft account for a user to sign in to the PC with.

Signing in to PCs with a Microsoft account lets you:

• Download apps from the Microsoft Store.
• Get your online content in Microsoft apps automatically.
• Sync settings online to make PCs look and feel the same – like your browser history, account picture, and color.

Signing in with a local account means:

• You have to create a user name and account for each PC you use.
• While not recommended, you can remove the account password if you like.
• You’ll need to sign in to the Microsoft Store with a Microsoft account to download apps from the Microsoft Store.
• Your settings won’t be synced across the PCs that you use.

When you create a new account, it will be a standard user by default. You can change the account type to be an administrator if wanted.

This tutorial will show you how to add a Microsoft account as a user on the PC in Windows 11.
