There are three types of accounts. Each type gives you a different level of control:

Standard accounts are for everyday use.

Administrator accounts provide the most control. To help protect your Surface (and keep other people from making changes you don't want), administrator accounts should be used sparingly. You'll need to use an administrator account if you're setting up accounts for other people on your Surface.

Guest accounts are useful when people need to use your Surface temporarily. You can turn on the guest account in Control Panel.

The user account created during setup is an administrator account. This means you can change settings, install apps, and create additional user accounts as needed. Not sure if you’re using an administrator account? See the topic How do I know I’m signed in as an administrator? on Windows.com.

Create a user account

To find out how to create a user account, do one of the following:

See the Create a user account topic on Windows.com.

Find the topic in Help. (Go to the Start screen and type Help. Then tap or click Help and Support, type user account in the search box, and tap or click Create a user account.

To find out how to switch between user accounts, see the Switch to another account topic in this guide.

Manage accounts

There are two places where you can manage user accounts:

PC Settings Open the Settings charm, tap or click PC settings, and then tap or click Users.

Control Panel Open the Search charm, type user accounts, then tap or click Settings. Choose User accounts from the search results.

PC settings has many of the basic user account settings and Control Panel has more advanced settings, such as changing an account type.

Note Public folders are a convenient way to share files with everyone who uses your Surface. For more info, see Share files with people who use your Surface in this guide.

Family Safety

Family Safety is an integrated part of Windows RT, so it's easier than ever to keep track of when and how your kids use the PC. You can set limits on exactly which websites, apps, and games they're allowed to use. To turn on
