Hi everyone,
I have some concerns in Windows 11 Home version and need your help to clarify.

Can we create multi-local account on a PC running Windows 11 Home? How many accounts can be created, any limitation?

Thank you!

Yes. Windows 11 Home supports adding multiple user accounts on the same device, including local accounts.

To add one:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to Accounts > Other user.
  3. Under Add other user, select Add account.
  4. Select I don't have this person's sign-in information.
  5. Select Add a user without a Microsoft account.
  6. Finish creating the local account.

The provided documentation confirms that Windows allows adding multiple user accounts, but it does not state a numeric limit for how many local accounts can be created on Windows 11 Home.

One documented limit related to accounts is different: Windows 10/11 allows only up to 3 Microsoft Entra accounts under the same user session on a device. That is not the same as local Windows accounts.
