<p>Recently I had to reset a password for the Administrator account and create an additional user on Windows 10 Home edition operating system. Once I have tried to create an account using <strong>Control Panel | User Accounts | Add or remove user accounts | Add someone else to this PC</strong> I was redirected to <strong>Local Users and Groups snap-in</strong> with the following error message:</p>
<p><strong>This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 10. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel.</strong></p>
<p>Well, I have used User Accounts tool in the Control Panel and have ended up here. Great work Microsoft.</p>
<p>So, in order to add additional users on Windows 10 Home edition machine in the <strong>run prompt</strong> type the following:</p>
<p><strong>control userpasswords2</strong></p>
<p>hit <strong>Enter</strong>.</p>
<p>A new <strong>User Accounts</strong> window will open and you&#8217;ll be able to select <strong>Add..</strong> to add an additional user to your PC. Depending on Internet connectivity you&#8217;ll be able to create <strong>Live account</strong> or in case you&#8217;re offline, you&#8217;ll be able to create only local user accounts.</p>
<p>You will also notice that you can&#8217;t change passwords for user accounts from the same window (<strong>control userpasswords2</strong>).</p>
<p>In order to change user passwords, you&#8217;ll have to use <strong>Control Panel | User Accounts </strong>snapin.</p>
<p>Comments are welcome.</p>
