Question on adding a "local account" to my wife's laptop.
My wife uses a Dell laptop with Windows 10 Home on it. She does not sign into any Microsoft account when using the laptop, I believe her account is called a Local Account. I would like to create my own Local Account as an administrator so I can install my own software on the laptop for my own personal use and browse the Web.
I think I can sign up as a "Local Account" but I have one concern. As I read through the instructions on how to add a Local Account or Microsoft Account in Windows 10, I see this statement:
In Windows 10, you can also allow people (other users) who are not part of your family to sign in to the PC with their own accounts by adding them as a local account (aka: offline account) or Microsoft account. This won't add them to your family. Other users can be either a standard user or administrator.
Does the offline account mean I can't access the internet?
Thanks,
Steve
