Signing in to another user's PC

Signing in to another user's PC

  1. Sign Out the Current User (if needed)

    • If another user is currently signed in, sign out the current user by clicking on the Start Menu > User Profile Picture > Sign out.
  2. Go to the Sign-In Screen

    • If the computer is at the lock screen, press any key or click to bring up the sign-in options.
  3. Choose "Other User" Option

    • On the sign-in screen, select "Other user" if it’s not already showing.
  4. Enter Your Microsoft 365 Business Credentials

    • Enter your Microsoft 365 email address in the format user@yourdomain.com.
    • Click on "Next" or press Enter.
    • Enter your password when prompted.
  5. Complete Multi-Factor Authentication (if applicable)

    • If your account requires multi-factor authentication (MFA), complete the MFA challenge using your registered method (e.g., phone, app).
  6. Set Up Your Profile

    • The first time you sign in, Windows will set up a new user profile for you. This may take a few minutes.
    • Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the setup, such as setting up Windows Hello (e.g., PIN, fingerprint, facial recognition).
  7. Access Your Resources

    • Once signed in, you should have access to your Microsoft 365 resources and any company resources allowed for your user profile.

Additional Tips

  • Switching Users: If you frequently share the device, you can switch users without signing out by clicking on the Start Menu > User Profile Picture > Select another user.

  • Remote Desktop: If you need to access the device remotely, ensure Remote Desktop is enabled and you have remote access permissions set up by your IT admin.

  • Policies and Compliance: Adhere to your company's IT policies regarding device usage and security compliance.

If you encounter any issues during the process, contact your IT support for assistance.
