Setting Up a LOCAL Account In Windows 11 PATACS member and former newsletter editor Henry Winokur explains how to set up the all-important LOCAL account in Windows 11. Why is it important? Because the ADMIN(istrative) account-what is set up on the initial configuration of Windows-is too dangerous to use as a "daily driver". Does MS tell you this? Nope. There's no mention of this in the documentation you received with your computer! Of course, few PC's come with documentation these days and NONE-to my knowledge-explain this situation. This session will explain how to add the "daily driver" LOCAL account, so that you are not operating in the oh-so-dangerous Admin mode/account. Henry Winokur has been supporting Windows users in the DC area for more than 35 years. He still makes house calls! He is specifically knowledgeable on Microsoft Outlook (Classic) and Microsoft Word. He is part of a team at the Jewish Council on the Aging (Rockville, MD) that teaches a class for those over 50 who are trying to reenter the workforce. The class is called "A Little Bit of Windows and a Little Bit of Word". Does he know everything? Not yet! In a prior life he was a nationally- and state-certified motorcycle safety instructor and managed the Montgomery College Training Center for the Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program where he was also an instructor. In his spare time, he is an avid amateur photographer. He can be reached on PATACS' Groups.io email list or at pc.hlp@henrywinokur.com. .
