Simple user accounts in Windows 10

Question

In previous versions of Windows, I could have created mulitple accounts for my family members to have their settings. Now, I do not understand anyting. My father got a PC with windows 10 and single Lenovo account with blank password. I tried to add myself to leave his settings intact. I had to enter my email/password. Now, it renamed the Lenovo account to my name and asks for my password in Windows log-in. Furthermore, I do not have the email for my father, to make him a separate account. How do I reset the need for my password and fall back to simple local accounts, as it used to be in pre-Win10 era?

Answer 1

Manage your account would do this.

Type that into the start menu

You can use that to convert your "cloud" windows/MS login into a local one

To create a new account without a networked login you go to family and other people.

Answer 2

There is another way. Do Right-click the Start to Computer Management > Local Users > New User.

Once created, use user properties to add them to Administrators.
