Whether you want it or not, in any recent Windows operating system, even installing the OS does not occur without creating a user account. But here it is necessary to clearly separate such information into local Microsoft accounts and registrations, which are necessary in order to use Microsoft software products, fully secure your own computer, or even restore access rights if you lose data specified during registration. We will figure out how to make an account in Windows. We will dwell separately on issues related to changing the type of local registration to obtain extended access rights to some important system settings and disabling an existing entry of the so-called super administrator that appeared on Windows since the seventh version, as it is said, in order to increase the protection of the OS from unauthorized or incorrect interventions in her work.
How to make an account in Windows 10 and below at the installation stage?
Let's start with the option that you can use directly during the first installation of the operating system on a computer or laptop.
If anyone does not know, upon completion of copying all the necessary files to the hard drive, a reboot occurs, and then the user is prompted to either create a Microsoft registration or provide their data for local user identification. Speaking about how to create an account, it should be understood that Microsoft registration can be delayed or not created at all, but you will still have to enter your own data (at least briefly). For this, several fields to be filled out will be highlighted. And there is nothing complicated in this process, so we will not dwell on it in detail.
How to make an administrator account a classic method?
We’ll better consider the process of creating a new registration after the operating system has been installed, which may come in handy later. One of the techniques that can be used in all versions of Windows is to refer to the corresponding section of the Control Panel. How to make an account? Elementary!
In this section, you just need to use the item to add it, set the username as desired and set the preferred type of access. If a regular user is selected, a new user will not be able to make any changes to the global Windows settings without permission from the main system administrator, as well as view or edit some file types. But if you specify access at the administrator level, the new entry will automatically be included in the administrator group with all the ensuing consequences.
Note: in Windows 10 this method does not work, because adding a new “account” must be done either in the system settings, or use the computer control section, where you need to go to the users menu and select “New User” through RMB, fill in several fields and click create registration button.
Create registrations with limited rights
Now let's see how to make an account with even more limited access rights than is assumed for normal access, using the tenth modification of Windows as an example. As you know, it contains not one, but two “Control Panels” (one classic, the second in the form of the “Options” menu).
Just using the parameters section, you can turn to the corresponding item and go to the "Family ..." menu, where you should click the add users button for the local computer. We will immediately be asked to enter an email address, but you can skip it by clicking the link below, confirming that you do not have such data. Similarly, in the next step, you can skip the creation of a Microsoft registration. After entering the login, passwords and answers to security questions, you can configure access restrictions (for example, applications installed on the computer).
Change account to admin
In the creation of registrations a little understood. Now let's see how to make an administrator account to expand the authority of any registered user of the local computer terminal.
In the above section of the “Control Panel”, you need to go on to change the type of another registration record and set administrator rights for it, choosing to include it in the group of administrators.
How to disable super administrator?
Finally, it is worth mentioning separately about the deactivation of the so-called super-administrator record, since many people are very hampered by the constant launch of the program on his behalf or by performing some other actions. If you disable it, almost all installed applications will start on behalf of the administrator, but for some of them it may still require such a launch (for example, for the command line or for Notepad when editing the Hosts file).
Nevertheless, you can disable this registration through the same command line, having previously launched it on behalf of the administrator, by executing the command "net user Admin / active: no" (without quotes).
