Change Your User Account Picture

You can add visual interest to your user account as well as make it a bit easier to tell one user account from another by adding a picture to the account.

When you create a user account, Windows 8 assigns it a default picture, and this picture appears on the user’s Start screen tile, the Users tab of the PC Settings app, and the sign-on screen. Unfortunately, this default picture is a generic silhouette of a person’s head and upper torso, so it is not very interesting or useful. If you have a more suitable picture, you can change to that instead.
