Changing Windows 8 user

Not everyone can afford the number of devices equal to all family members. This is where different accounts come to the rescue: dividing various data, programs and, of course, too personal information. But not everyone knows what it’s like to switch between users. Doing this in Windows 8 is no more difficult than in previous systems, you just need to understand how it’s done.

About logging into Windows 8

It is worth noting that in Windows 8.1 the login system has been slightly changed.

Now we will look at two options for changing the user: through the menu Pusk and through "System screen".

Option 1: Start Menu

1. Click on the icon Windows, located in the lower left corner of the screen, and switch to the menu Pusk. There is a faster way to do this - just hold down the keyboard shortcut Win + Shift.
   
   
   
   
   
2. In the upper right corner you can see the user’s avatar; click on it and then in the drop-down menu you will see a checklist of users using this computer. Select the user you need.
   
   
   
   

Option 2: "System Screen"

1. However, you can change the user much faster: just by pressing a combination known to everyone Ctrl + Alt + Delete and calling up the system screen.
   
   
2. On the system screen you can perform the action you need: change user. Click on the item "Switch user" ("Change user") and in the window that appears, select the required account by clicking on it.
   
   
   
   

By following these simple steps, you can easily switch from one account to another. We hope this article helped you.
