How to set up a Standard User account on a new Windows 11 Pro laptop

Goal
I want to set up my new laptop so that I operate as a Standard User rather than an Administrator.

Extra details
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
- Device: New laptop

How can I configure Windows 11 Pro so that my account is set up as a Standard User?

Note: I'm hoping this will be more secure for me if I'm not the Administrator; however, I do want his Administrator's password.

You can't have single Standard user account if you do you won't able to complete simple Administrative tasks.

Leave the existing Admin account alone [the one created during installation].
Use it to create a standard user account for day-to-day use.
Add Local User Account - ElevenForumTutorials
or
Add MS User Account - ElevenForumTutorials
I generally use local user accounts [both standard ones & Admin ones].
