How to Add a Picture to Your Windows 10 or Windows 11 User Account
It’s easy to add a picture to your Windows 10 or Windows 11 user account. You can use your smiling face for your account picture, your grandkid, your spouse, your girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other, dog, cat, pet pig, parrot, hamster, your record-breaking pumpkin, tulip, or whatever tickles your fancy. I am sorry for all the geek-speak…
Let’s do it, shall we?
Windows 10
Type YOUR INFO in the taskbar search and press Enter or click it when it appears in the search results.
On the page that opens, look for “Create your picture”. Beneath it, you’ll notice you have two options. You can snap a photo of your beautiful face (or whatever) using your computer’s Webcam, or you can choose a photo already on your computer.

As you can see, for my account picture, I chose a picture of myself when I was thin, young, handsome, and wild – sadly… days long since passed. Sorry ladies… I’ll never be that wild and handsome again!
Windows 11
Type YOUR INFO in the taskbar/Start menu search and press Enter or click it when it appears in the search results. On the page that opens, look for “Take a photo” and then snap a photo of your beautiful face, your cat or dog, or someone else’s face using your computer’s Webcam. Or you can choose a photo already on your computer.
You can have fun with this too…
