Turn on Family Safety for your child's account

If you've ever wondered what your kids are up to on the PC and online, Family Safety can help. Family Safety lets you know which websites your kids have visited and which apps and games they've used. You can also choose to block or allow specific websites or other content, and even limit the amount of time they can spend on the PC. Now you'll have more time to find out what else they're up to. With Windows, you can help your kids use the PC responsibly.

If your child already has a user account on your PC, you can still turn on Family Safety and begin monitoring their activities.

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
   (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
2. Tap or click Accounts, and then tap or click Other accounts.
3. Select the account you want to monitor with Family Safety, and then tap or click Edit.
   If your child doesn't have a standard user account, see the previous To create a new child's account steps.
4. In the Account type list, select Child and then tap or click OK.

To create a new child's account

When you create a new account for your child—with or without an email address—Family Safety monitoring is turned on automatically. You'll start receiving reports about when and how your child uses the PC, and you can set or change additional limits at any time.

1. Sign in to your PC with an administrator account.
2. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
   (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
3. Tap or click Accounts, tap or click Other accounts, and then tap or click Add an account.
4. Tap or click the Add a child's account link.
5. Do one of the following:
   • If your child already has an email address, enter it, tap or click Next, and follow the instructions.
   • If you want to get a new email address for your child, tap or click Sign up for a new email address and follow the instructions.
   • If you want your child to sign in to this PC only, tap or click Add a child's account without email, and follow the instructions.

Tip

• Is your child too young to remember a typed password? You might want to set up a picture password for them, so they can sign in using a favorite photo instead.
