Switch between Accounts

After you have created more than one account on your tablet, you can switch between accounts. This is useful when one person is already working in Windows 8 and another person needs to use the tablet.

When you switch to a second account, Windows 8 leaves the original user’s programs and windows running. This means that after the second person is finished, the original user can sign on again and continue working as before.
