User Guide

Create another account

If more than one person uses your Surface, each person can have their own account. This way everyone can sign

in and personalize everything to their liking.

To find out how to create another account on your Surface, see Create a user account on Windows.com.

Family Safety (child account)

Got kids? Family Safety is an integrated part of Windows, so it's easier than ever to keep track of when and how

your kids use Surface. You can set limits on exactly which websites, apps, and games they're allowed to use.

To find out how to turn on Family Safety, see Keep your kids safer on the PC on Windows.com.
