Adding a user to a Windows PC and grant them Administrator access

Here's the step-by-step procedure based on Windows 10:

  1. Open the Control Panel:

    • Click on the "Start" button (Windows icon) in the taskbar.

  2. Access User Accounts:

    • In the search bar, type "Control Panel" and press Enter.
    • In the Control Panel window, click on "User Accounts."

  3. Manage Another Account:

    • In the User Accounts window, you will see an option that says "Manage another account." Click on it.

  4. Add a User:

    • Under the "Make changes to your user account" section, click on "Add a user account."

  5. Add Someone Else to This PC:

    • You will see a link that says "I don't have this person's sign-in information." Click on it.

  6. Create a New Account:

    • In the next window, click on "Add a user without a Microsoft account."

  7. Choose a User Name:

    • Enter the desired username for the new user and click "Next."

  8. Set a Password (Optional):

    • You can set a password for the new user account. It's highly recommended to set a password for security reasons. Click "Next."

  9. Completing the Process:

    • The new user account is now created. You can choose to set security questions or simply click "Finish."

  10. Change Account Type to Administrator:

    • Back in the "User Accounts" section of the Control Panel, find the newly created user account and click on it.

  11. Change the account type:

    • Click on "Change the account type."

  12. Choose an Account Type:

    • Select "Administrator" to give the user full administrative privileges over the PC.

  13. Confirm the Change:

    • Click "Change Account Type."

Now, the new user account has been created and has been granted administrator access to the PC. You can log in with this account and perform administrative tasks. Remember to keep the new user account's password secure, and only grant administrator access to trusted individuals.
