NOTE:

Other Accounts You Use “ONLY IF You are logged in”
Choose this option to grab Your account photo from social media accounts You’ve shared with Windows 10.

After You’ve chosen an account photo, it attaches to Your Microsoft account and anything You sign in to with that account: Your Microsoft phone, for example, Microsoft websites and programs, and any Windows computer You sign in to with Your Microsoft account.

It is also possible to grab any picture off the Internet and save it to Your Pictures folder. Then click the Browse button mentioned earlier in this section to locate the picture and assign it as Your account photo. (Right-click the Internet picture and, depending on Your web browser, choose Save Picture or a similar menu option.)

Do not worry about choosing a picture that’s too large or too small. Windows automatically shrinks or expands the image to fit the postage-stamp-sized space. (Account pictures must be square, though.)

If You are not an “Administrator” or with a “Standard Accounts” will You be able change the picture, unlike the “Guest Account” who are stuck with the faceless grey silhouette.
