  It is recommended to have separate service accounts for security purposes.  But if you are setting up a testing environment, you can simply use a single account.

  The account(s) will need to be created in AD before you can add them during the install.

  Hi,

  This is best practice so that each service account only has the minimum rights it needs so that the likelihood of exploits is reduced. It is not necessary for installation - but a best practice guidance so the choice is yours after you have done a risk assessment.
