How to Create a "Guest Account" on Windows 10 & 11

If you'd like to share your computer with someone without giving them access to your files, you used to be able to create a "Guest Account."

Starting with Windows 10 and continuing with 11, Microsoft has removed the Guest account option, but you can still create a new local account that doesn't require a password or email. The "Guest" user, unlike the previously available Guest account, can adjust settings install software, something that was not available on a guest account. It's not the same as a Guest Account, but it gets the job done.

Video tutorial:



Click on Start > Settings or press the Windows Key + I.

Click on Accounts on the left.

Click on Family & other users on the right (or left on Windows 10).

Under Other users, click on Add account (or Add someone else to this PC on Windows 10).



Click on I don't have this person's sign-in information.



Click on Add a user without a Microsoft account.



Enter the guest user name. You can also enter a password, but it's not required.

Click Next.



The new user account will appear alongside other accounts. You can also create a Switch User shortcut to change users quickly.



To delete the account, return to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.

Click the arrow to the right of the account name to delete and click Remove.



You can also change the "Guest User" to a Standard or Administrator account.
