Lesson 74: Setting Up User Accounts

Create User Accounts to Keep Your Computer Organized

It's Day 74, and today we'll learn about setting up user accounts. If multiple people use the same computer, having separate user accounts helps keep files, settings, and preferences private and organized.

How to Set Up User Accounts:

1. On Windows: Go to Settings → Accounts → Family & other users, then select Add someone else to this PC. Follow the prompts to create a new account.
   
   

2. On Mac: Open System Preferences → Users & Groups, then click the + icon to add a new user account. You can choose between a standard user or administrator account.

Why It's Important:

Setting up individual user accounts ensures that each person's files and settings are kept separate. It also enhances privacy and prevents accidental changes to someone else's work.

Try It Out:

If you share your computer with someone, create a new user account for them. Each user can have their own desktop, apps, and settings.

Pro Tip:

Assign administrator privileges only to the primary user. This prevents other users from making changes to system settings or installing programs without permission.
