1 or more user accounts?
Hi everyone (new here!),
Just moving from XP to Windows 7 and would appreciate the collective wisdom here.
My girlfriend and I previously shared an XP machine with just a single account. This has worked great. 1 password. 1 location for files (backup, cloud). 1 mailbox. 1 of everything. We don't care about having individual wallpapers or individual settings. We are very happy just 'sharing' the PC.
When I consider 2 accounts, I see all sorts of problems arising:
- Do we have to have individual Microsoft Accounts?
- Do I have to spend hours trying to get each others calendars/email visible to each other without switching User?
- We will both have individual (1TB) of cloud storage. How do we keep our joint files (photos, music etc) in sync?
I've read on the net that it's recommended we should have individual User accounts. Can anybody give me some good reasons to change and have 2 accounts when we really don';t care about individuality?
Many thanks for your replies,
