Most applications assumed that a user would have full admin rights, and many didn't work properly under a limited account. So why don't more people do this? I think most people don't know about limited accounts, or, if they do, they only think about them as a way to control the activities of a child or guest user.Īnother reason is that, up through Windows XP, using a limited account was terrible. (We've got an illustrated guide here.) Why this solution isn't well known (Windows 10 Home and Professional editions may not display the previous two steps.) On the next screen, type in the desired username and password and click Next. On the following screen, select "Add a user without a MIcrosoft account" and click Next. (Ignore the prompt to enter the user's email address or phone number.) Click "Add someone else to this PC." Then select "I don't have this person's sign-in information" and click Next. In Windows 10, go to Start -> Settings - Accounts -> Family & Other Users. Then click Create Password and enter the desired password. Type in the desired username, select the Standard User button and click Create Account. Select Control Panel, then either Add or Remove User Accounts or User Accounts depending on your Control Panel viewing options. In Windows 8 or 8.1, tap the Windows key and I key at the same time to bring up the Settings menu. In Windows 7, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove User Accounts, or User Accounts -> Create a New Account.
You'll need to be using an administrator account to do this, but the steps in each current version of Windows are similar.
But in fact, you need only one admin account per machine - and every user should have a limited account for daily use. Microsoft and Apple used to set up each new user with administrator accounts by default.
