• 8.  Setting up assigned access in Windows 10
  4m 47s
  While Windows 10 does not offer guest accounts, you can use Assigned Access to limit a user's access to a specific program. This is useful for children or guest users because it ensures that they'll only have access to the program that you assign to them. Set up assigned access by activating the setting, choosing an existing user account to apply the restricted access to, and restarting your device so that the changes will take effect. The result from the perspective of the user is a simple kiosk-style device with a sign in window redirecting them directly to the application that you've made available. FREE ACCESS
