I would assume the users will be local on the laptop. Firstly, pre create the users in Windows 10. After that the users will be able to login using their respective username and change their password as well. As John mention above, they will either have to logout or click on switch user.
For all the users to be able to access to a common folder, create a folder outside of their user profile. For example at "C:\Common Files", then assign the appropriate rights for the users.

The last logged in user will be the default, to switch user select other user
Also how to keep some folders, files , softwares etc common to all above users?
Software is usually installed for all users, some installers allow you to select this user or all users
For files use the PUBLIC folders

After setting up the users you can use HomeGroup for sharing files. HomeGroups work between users on same computer and different computers when joined to a HomeGroup

You can change the Name in Account properties, but you cannot change the account name. That is tied to the profile.
Once you have done the above, you can change the password in the same place.

There is an icon lower left to log in as different user. Works on every Windows 10 machine I work with On Domain, Off Domain it does not matter.
You will have to set up the new users first using the admin ID if Off Domain.
Make sure NO user is an administrator.
Make sure the first user you entered IS administrator (not named "administrator") and not used by any user.
