Create a computer user in Windows 8

This may seems like a stupid question, but I have not used window 8 before.



How do I create a normal new user on a Windows 8? The control panel does have a create user option, but it require me to fill in information about date of birth, phone number, email and other personal information. There were even a "ensure you are human question" at the end.



I just want to create a new user on this computer to have my own desktop, I do not want to sign up to a Microsoft account. Is there not a option to do that?



Edit - ADDED

I guess it is possible the ability to create local users have been removed from this computer. If i run compmgmt.msc as descripet here How to create new user and set the privilege for this account on windows 8



the "Local users and groups" option is missing
