4. Here, you can add a guest account by clicking on the Add account option.

5. Once you click on Add account option, you will get a pop-up to sign in. But we don’t need to sign in through a Microsoft account since we are creating a Guest account. So, click on “I don’t have this person’s sign-in information.” (Now, it will let you create an account without adding any details of the guest).

6. Click on the “Add a user without a Microsoft account” option.

7. Add all the details like the Name, Password, and Security questions for the guest account and hit next.

Now you have successfully created a Guest Account. If you find this method a bit lengthy, try the next method.
