Windows 11: Create local account with settings, command prompt, PowerShell
In Windows 11, the user gets full access to the device through a local administrator account and can change personal and system settings, install applications, and manage other users.
The only caveat is that Windows 11 sets up a new local account as the "default" account, which is very limited to essential tasks. A user with this account type can only change some personalization settings and run apps, but they cannot change system settings, install or uninstall apps, or manage other users.
In this guide, I will show you different approaches to create an administrator account for Windows 11 via Settings, Command Prompt, and PowerShell. These instructions apply to Windows 11 24H2 and 23H2 or any version of the operating system with Command Prompt or PowerShell.
