Advice Request How to Create a Guest Account in Windows 10

[Deleted member 178]

If you find that your guests are asking fairly often to use your computer temporarily to check their email or look something up on the web, you don’t have to let them use your personal account or create a special account for each guest.

Windows used to have a dedicated Guest account you could enable that would allow someone to temporarily use your computer, while ensuring they wouldn’t see your private data. Guest accounts also had limited access, so anyone logged in as a guest couldn’t install software or change system settings.

Only my girls use my PC, anyone else can't even get into my home office.
My girls are well educated in PC etiquette and I trust them because "I" teach them, the folks that I feel
would need a "guest acct" are the ones that won't touch this machine
