Create a User Account

If you want to share your tablet with another person, you need to create a user account for that individual. This enables the person to log on to Windows 8 and use the system.

The new user account is completely separate from your own account. This means that the other person can change settings, create documents, and perform other Windows tasks without interfering with your own settings or data. You can create a local user account or a Microsoft account. For maximum privacy, you should safeguard each account with a password.
