What is a User Profile in Windows 8?

User profile is nothing but a Record of user specific data and it define the working environment of

a user. The “Record” includes system settings, network connections, display settings, application

settings, customization and appearance settings etc. User profile can be compared with a roomwithin a house. As there can be many rooms in a house and they can have different facilities andcan be decorated differently. Like that there can be many user profiles in a Windows system having

different access permissions and users can decorate their working environment differently from the

other users.

User profiles are very important when multiple users are sharing a computer or a network. Anetwork administrator or system admin can define what files, applications and directories a usercan access by assigning different permissions for different users.

There are two types of user accounts in Windows 8. One is Local Account and another is Live

Account. You need to have a Microsoft account (Hotmail or live e-mail id) to create a Live Account.

Using live account you can sync various information and settings between two Windows 8computers, having same Microsoft Account.
