Written By published September 18, 2017



Did you know you can add family members to each Windows 10 PC you sign in to with your Microsoft account faster than ever?

You can manage family settings online at account.microsoft.com/family, and changes will be applied to any Windows 10 device the child signs in to.

Set up a PC for people already in your Microsoft family

Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Family & other people. Select their accounts to add them to this PC. The first time they sign in, they’ll need to enter the password for their Microsoft account.
