Chapter 2. Get started with your computer

Get started with Windows 10

Learn the basics of Windows 10 and start working with it right away. For more information about Windows 10, see the Windows help information.

Windows account

You must create at least one account to use the Windows operating system. It can be either a local account or a Microsoft account.

Local accounts

A local account is created on a particular Windows-enabled device and it can only be used on that device. It is recommended that you set a password for each local account to prevent unauthorized access to the device.

Microsoft accounts

A Microsoft account is a user account that you use to sign in to Microsoft software and services. If you use Microsoft services like OneDrive, Outlook.com, Xbox Live, Office 365, and Skype, you might already have one. If you don't have it, you can create one for free.

There are two main benefits of using a Microsoft account:

• Sign in only once. If you use a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10, you don’t need to sign in again to use OneDrive, Skype, Outlook.com, and other Microsoft services.

• Settings can be synced. If you use your Microsoft account to sign in to multiple Windows-enabled devices, certain Windows settings can be synced among the devices.

Switch between a local and a Microsoft account

If you are using a local account to sign in to Windows 10, you can switch to use a Microsoft account instead.

Step 1. Open the Start menu and select Settings ➙ Accounts. Step 2. Select Sign in with a Microsoft account instead. Step 3. If you already have a Microsoft account, enter the account name and password to sign in.

Otherwise, select Create one to create a new Microsoft account.

Note: The device must have Internet access the first time you use a Microsoft account on that device.

If you want to switch back to use a local account, open the Start menu and select Settings ➙ Accounts ➙

Add additional user accounts

Your user account must be of the “Administrator” type to add additional user accounts to Windows.

Add additional user accounts if you need to share your computer with family members or other users.

Step 1. Open the Start menu and select Settings ➙ Accounts ➙ Family & other users. Step 2. Select Add someone else to this PC.

Note: To add family members, you need to sign in with a Microsoft account.

Step 3. Set the user name and password for the user account.

Connect to networks

Your computer helps you connect to the world through a wired or wireless network.

Connect to Wi-Fi networks

If your computer includes a wireless adapter, you can connect your computer to Wi-Fi networks.

Step 1. Click the network icon in the Windows notification area. A list of nearby networks is displayed.

Note: If no network is displayed, check to ensure that the airplane mode is not turned on.

Step 2. Select a network and click Connect. Provide security key if prompted.

Note: The network key is usually managed by the network administrator.

Forget a Wi-Fi network

Windows saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you have connected to, along with their passwords and other settings. By doing this, your computer is automatically connected when it is in the range of a previously connected network. However, if the network password has been changed, you need to forget the network in order to enter a new password.

Step 1. Select Start ➙ Settings ➙ Network & Internet ➙ Wi-Fi. Step 2. Click Manage known networks. Step 3. Click the network name and click Forget.

Turn airplane mode on and off

Airplane mode is a convenient setting to turn all wireless communications of your computer on and off. You may need to turn it on when boarding an airplane.
