“How do you add a new user account in Windows 7?”

Adding a new user account is a great way to keep personal files from different users separate and also prevents different users from messing around with your files and system configuration.

Sign in as the Administrator and click on the Windows 7 and click on the Start button or Windows Orb and click on “Control Panel”.

Under “Users Account and Family Safety” click on “Add or remove user accounts”.

Here you can see the existing accounts, the Administrator which is the person who set up Windows on the computer and a Guest account. Click on “Create a new account” near the bottom.

Give the new user account a name and select the account type. I would recommend keeping all new accounts “Standard” for security reasons. When all that’s done just click on the “Create Account” button. That’s it, you should now see the new user you just created in the User box.
