有时您需要知道如何将非Microsoft帐户添加到Windows 10。Microsoft帐户具有跨多个设备同步设置的优势。但是，一些用户更愿意放弃它，以换取本地离线（非Microsoft）帐户的更安全和私密的体验。如果您不想与Microsoft共享您的信息并且问自己“如何在没有Microsoft帐户的情况下将其他用户添加到(Microsoft)Windows 10？”，那么您来对地方了。本教程说明了在Windows 10(Windows 10)中创建本地或非Microsoft用户帐户的六种方法：
注意：(NOTE:)所示的某些方法需要管理员帐户(Administrator account)。要收集有关该主题的更多信息，您还可以阅读什么是 Windows 中的用户帐户或用户名？(What is a user account or a username in Windows?)您应该在 Windows 10中使用本地帐户还是 Microsoft 帐户？(Should you use a local or a Microsoft account in Windows 10?). 虽然我们不建议这样做，但您可以通过在帐户创建过程中将密码字段留空来添加不需要密码登录的本地帐户。
1. 在没有Microsoft帐户的情况下从“设置”将另一个用户添加到Windows 10
我们发现使用“设置”(Settings)应用创建非 Microsoft 帐户最简单。首先，通过按键盘上的Win + I打开设置(open Settings)，然后单击或点击帐户(Accounts)。
开户设置
在左侧的列中，单击或点击“家庭和其他用户”(“Family & other users”)选项卡。在右侧的“其他用户”下，按(Other users)“将其他人添加到此 PC”(“Add someone else to this PC”)选项旁边的 + 按钮。
将其他人添加到这台电脑
Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)向导打开，要求您输入Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)的电子邮件或电话号码。单击或点击下方的“我没有此人的登录信息”链接。(“I don’t have this person’s sign-in information”)
避免创建 Microsoft 帐户
然后， Microsoft(Microsoft)会尝试让您创建一个帐户。站稳(Stand)并单击或点击“添加没有 Microsoft 帐户的用户”(“Add a user without a Microsoft account”)链接，然后按Next。
添加没有Microsoft帐户的用户
接下来，您可以在“谁将使用这台电脑？”(“Who’s going to use this PC?”)下输入您想要的用户名。(User name). 输入密码并进行验证以确保您的帐户安全。
输入用户名和密码
在您开始输入密码的那一刻，屏幕底部的“万一忘记密码”(“In case you forget your password”)部分会显示另外六个字段。
您必须从列表中选择三个安全问题并为每个问题提供答案。单击(Click)或点击每个字段以打开包含可用问题的下拉菜单或输入答案。完成后，按Next。
选择三个(Choose three)安全问题，然后按下一步
您的帐户已创建，您将返回到“设置”(Settings)应用程序，您可以在其中看到它显示在“其他用户(Other users)”下。
您的帐户已创建
要轻松访问新帐户，请阅读在 Windows 10 中切换用户的 7 种方法(7 ways to switch the user in Windows 10)。
2.在Windows 10中将您的(Windows 10)Microsoft帐户转换为本地帐户
如果您已经创建了Microsoft帐户，但您想增加隐私并停止与公司共享您的数据，您可以将您的Microsoft帐户转换为本地帐户。我们创建了一个教程，其中包含从 Microsoft 切换到 Windows 10 本地帐户(switching to a Windows 10 local account from a Microsoft one)所需的所有详细信息。
在Windows 10(Windows 10)中切换到本地帐户
3.使用 netplwiz在Windows 10中创建非 Microsoft 帐户
您还可以使用netplwiz应用程序添加本地用户帐户。首先，使用键盘快捷键Win + R打开“运行”窗口(open the Run window)，然后插入“ netplwiz ”。然后，按键盘上的OK或Enter 。
输入 netplwiz 并按 OK
在“用户帐户”窗口的“(User Accounts)用户(Users)”选项卡中，首先，确保选中顶部的“用户必须输入用户名和密码才能使用此计算机”(“Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”)选项旁边的框。然后，单击或点击添加(Add)。
选中该框并按添加
在下一个弹出窗口中，单击或点击“不使用 Microsoft 帐户登录（不推荐）”(“Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended))。”
选择(Choose)添加非 Microsoft 帐户
接下来，您将再次了解使用Microsoft帐户的所有优势。
缺乏跨设备同步可能是一个缺点，但这是唯一的缺点，即使微软(Microsoft)建议你需要他们的一个帐户来下载应用程序。虽然这似乎是获得Microsoft帐户的一大动力，但这只是一种恐吓策略。我们有一个指南向您展示如何在没有 Microsoft 帐户的情况下在 Windows 10 中使用 Microsoft Store(How to use the Microsoft Store in Windows 10 without a Microsoft account)，因此请继续按本地帐户(Local account)按钮。
忽略微软的虚假信息并选择本地(Local)帐户
输入新用户名(User name)，选择并确认密码，并添加密码提示(Password hint)。然后，单击或点击Next。
输入新用户的信息
按完成(Finish)以完成创建本地帐户的过程。
完成创建过程
您将返回到“用户帐户(User Accounts)”窗口，您已经可以在“此计算机(“Users for this computer)的用户”中看到新用户。”
新用户显示在用户(User)帐户中
提示：(TIP:)如果您喜欢netplwiz应用程序，您还可以使用它来自动登录 Windows，而无需输入密码(automatically login into Windows without typing a password)。
4.使用计算机管理(Computer Management)将本地用户帐户添加到Windows 10
如果您在计算机或设备上运行Windows 10 专业版(Pro)，您还可以使用计算机管理(Computer Management)工具创建本地帐户。打开计算机管理(Open Computer Management)，然后单击或点击系统工具(System Tools)下的“本地用户和组”(“Local Users and Groups”)。
访问本地用户和组
在中间窗格中，右键单击或按住用户(Users)文件夹，然后单击或点击上下文菜单上的新用户。(New User)
创建新用户
弹出新用户窗口。(New User)选择一个用户名(User name)，然后插入并确认您的密码。您只需要填写用户名字(User name)段。创建帐户后，全名使用相同的信息。(Full name)但是，如果您在此步骤中插入不同的全名，这将是在(Full name)Windows 10中为该帐户显示的名称（包括登录屏幕上的名称）。如果您想将旁边显示的任何选项应用于新帐户，请选中这些框。然后，按创建(Create)并关闭(Close)新用户(New User)窗口。
插入(Insert)信息并单击或点击创建(Create)以完成添加帐户
如果您访问计算机管理中的(Computer Management)用户(Users)文件夹，您可以看到里面显示的新帐户。
您的帐户显示在用户中
提示：(TIP:)如果您想在Windows 10中重命名本地帐户，我们在上一节中讨论的计算机管理(Computer Management)工具和netplwiz应用程序也很有用。从如何在 Windows 10 中更改您的用户帐户名称(How to change your user account name in Windows 10)了解更多信息。
5.使用CMD或PowerShell将非 Microsoft 帐户添加到Windows 10
如果您喜欢使用命令行解释器，可以使用命令提示符(Command Prompt)和PowerShell将本地用户添加到Windows 10。这两个应用程序的步骤是相同的，但我们只讨论命令提示符(Command Prompt)的步骤。
通过在任务栏的搜索字段中搜索“ cmd ”，然后单击或点击“以管理员身份运行”(“Run as administrator”)选项，以管理员身份(as administrator)启动命令提示符。(Command Prompt)
搜索(Search)cmd 并按以管理员身份运行(Run)
在弹出的UAC窗口中确认您的选择，然后启动命令提示符(Command Prompt)。
您需要输入的命令相对简单：“ net user NAME PASS /add ” - 将NAME替换为您正在创建的帐户的名称，将PASS替换为该帐户的密码。下面，我们使用密码1234创建了一个名为Digital的用户。
注意：(NOTE:)您可以从命令中完全删除PASS值，新创建的用户无需密码即可登录。
使用 CMD 创建本地账户
如果一切正常，您会收到消息“命令已成功完成”。(“The command completed successfully.”)，并且新用户显示在您的 PC 或设备上存在的其他帐户中(accounts that exist on your PC or device)。
6、安装Windows 10(Windows 10)时创建本地离线账户
您还可以在安装Windows 10(Windows 10)时创建非 Microsoft 用户。在安装过程中，当询问您要使用的帐户时，您应该获得离线帐户(Offline account)选项。
选择使用离线帐户而不是Microsoft帐户
我们在教程的最后一部分详细介绍了配置Windows 10设置以使用本地帐户的过程如何从 DVD、ISO 文件或 USB 驱动器安装 Windows 10(How to install Windows 10 from a DVD, ISO file or a USB drive)。但是，在我们的测试中，我们发现离线帐户选项在安装( Offline account)Windows 10时并不总是可用。为确保您不会被迫创建Microsoft帐户，我们建议您在(Microsoft)Windows 10安装完成之前避免将计算机连接到 Internet 。这确保您可以使用本地帐户完成安装。

6 ways to add a local (non-Microsoft) user to Windows 10
There are times when yoυ need to know how to add a non-Microsoft account to Windows 10. Microsoft aсcounts comе with the advantage of syncing your settingѕ across multiple devices.

If you dоn’t want to share your info with Microsоft and you ask yourself “How do I add another uѕer to Windows 10 without a Microsoft account?”, you’ve comе to the right place. Thіs tυtorial illustrates six wayѕ to create a local оr non-Microsoft user acсoυnt in Windows 10:
NOTE: Some of the methods illustrated require an Administrator account. To gather more info on the subject, you can also read What is a user account or a username in Windows? and Should you use a local or a Microsoft account in Windows 10?. While we don’t recommend it, you can add local accounts that don’t require a password to login by leaving the password fields blank during the account creation process.
1. Add another user to Windows 10 without a Microsoft account from Settings
We find it easiest to create a non-Microsoft account with the Settings app. First, open Settings by pressing Win + I on your keyboard, and then click or tap on Accounts.
Open Accounts settings
In the column on the left, click or tap on the “Family & other users” tab. On the right-hand side, under Other users, press the + button next to the “Add someone else to this PC” option.
Add someone else to this PC
The Microsoft account wizard opens, asking you to enter the email or phone number of a Microsoft account. Click or tap the “I don’t have this person’s sign-in information” link underneath.
Avoid creating a Microsoft account
Microsoft then tries to get you to create an account. Stand firm and click or tap on “Add a user without a Microsoft account” link, then press Next.
Add a user without a Microsoft account
Next, you can enter your desired User name under “Who’s going to use this PC?”. Enter a password and verify it to make your account secure.
Enter a User name and password
The moment you start to insert a password, six more fields are revealed at the bottom of your screen, in the “In case you forget your password” section.
You have to choose three security questions from the list and provide an answer for each of them. Click or tap on each field to either open a dropdown menu with the available questions or to type in an answer. When you are done, press Next.
Choose three security questions and press Next
Your account is created, and you are returned to the Settings app, where you can see it displayed under Other users.
Your account is created
To easily access the new account, read 7 ways to switch the user in Windows 10.
2. Convert your Microsoft account into a local one in Windows 10
If you already created a Microsoft account, but you want to increase your privacy and stop sharing your data with the company, you can convert your Microsoft account into a local one. We created a tutorial with all the details necessary for switching to a Windows 10 local account from a Microsoft one.
Switching to a local account in Windows 10
3. Create a non-Microsoft account in Windows 10 with netplwiz
You can also use the netplwiz app to add a local user account. To begin, open the Run window with the keyboard shortcut Win + R and insert “netplwiz”. Then, press OK or Enter on your keyboard.
Enter netplwiz and press OK
In the Users tab of the User Accounts window, first, make sure the box next to the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option on top is checked. Then, click or tap on Add.
Check the box and press Add
In the next pop-up window, click or tap “Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended).”
Choose to add a non-Microsoft account
Next, you are presented once more with all the advantages of using a Microsoft account.
The lack of syncing across devices can be a downside, but it is the only one, even if Microsoft suggests that you need one of their accounts to download apps. While this might seem like a big incentive to get a Microsoft account, it is just a scare tactic. We have a guide showing you How to use the Microsoft Store in Windows 10 without a Microsoft account, so go ahead and press the Local account button.
Ignore Microsoft’s false info and choose Local account
Enter a new User name, choose and confirm a password, and add a Password hint. Then, click or tap on Next.
Enter the info for a new user
Press Finish to complete the process of creating a local account.
Finish the creation process
You are returned to the User Accounts window, where you can already see the new user among the “Users for this computer.”
The new user is displayed in User Accounts
TIP: If you like the netplwiz app, you can also use it to automatically login into Windows without typing a password.
4. Add a local user account to Windows 10 using Computer Management
If you’re running Windows 10 Pro on your computer or device, you can also use the Computer Management tool to create a local account. Open Computer Management and click or tap on “Local Users and Groups” under System Tools.
Access Local Users and Groups
In the middle pane, right-click or press-and-hold on the Users folder, and then click or tap New User on the contextual menu.
Create a New User
The New User window pops up. Choose a User name, then insert and confirm your password. You only need to fill in the User name field. The Full name uses the same info once the account is created. However, if you insert a different Full name during this step, this is the name displayed in Windows 10 for this account (including on the login screen). Check the boxes if you want to apply to the new account any of the options displayed next to them. Then, press Create and Close the New User window.
Insert the info and click or tap Create to finish adding the account
If you access the Users folder in Computer Management, you can see the new account displayed inside.
Your account is displayed in Users
TIP: The Computer Management tool and the netplwiz app, which we discussed in the previous section, are also useful if you want to rename a local account in Windows 10. Learn more about it from How to change your user account name in Windows 10.
5. Add a non-Microsoft account to Windows 10 with CMD or PowerShell
If you like using command-line interpreters, both the Command Prompt and PowerShell can be used to add a local user to Windows 10. The steps are identical for both apps, but we only go over the ones for the Command Prompt.
Start the Command Prompt as administrator by searching “cmd” in your taskbar’s search field and then clicking or tapping on the “Run as administrator” option.
Search cmd and press Run as administrator
Confirm your choice in the UAC window that pops up, and the Command Prompt is launched.
The command you need to enter is relatively simple: “net user NAME PASS /add” - replace NAME with the name of the account you are creating and PASS with the password for that account. Below, we created a user called Digital using the password 1234.
NOTE: You can completely remove the PASS value from the command, and the newly created user can login without a password.
Use CMD to create a local account
If everything is fine, you get the message “The command completed successfully.”, and the new user is displayed among the other accounts that exist on your PC or device.
6. Create a local offline account while installing Windows 10
You can also create a non-Microsoft user while installing Windows 10. During the installation process, when asked about the account that you want to use, you should get the Offline account option.
Opting to use an offline account instead of a Microsoft account
We detail the process of configuring the Windows 10 setup to use a local account in the last section of our tutorial How to install Windows 10 from a DVD, ISO file or a USB drive. However, during our tests, we discovered that the Offline account option is not always available while installing Windows 10. To make sure you’re not forced to create a Microsoft account, we recommend you avoid connecting your computer to the internet before the Windows 10 installation is complete. This ensures you can finish the installation using a local account.
Which method to add a local user do you prefer?
A non-Microsoft account lets you perform any task on your Windows 10 computer or device while keeping your settings and files safe on your computer. Did you manage to add a local user account? Which method do you prefer? Let us know in the comment section.
