How to set up a guest account on Windows 10

Windows 10 no longer offers a Guest account to share your PC, but you can create a restricted account to emulate that kind of functionality.

The concept of a guest account isn't a bad one: a locked-down account that you can let other people use on your PC to access the internet, run apps, and not much more — all while keeping your files, settings, and everything else safe (in theory). But when Microsoft rolled out Windows 10, the Guest account disappeared.

You can enable it in a number of ways, but there's no Guest account to use. In fact, if you manage to turn on the account, it won't even show up on the sign-in screen.

However, the elements needed to create a guest account are still present in Windows 10, which makes it possible to create your very own restricted account to let guests use your PC. It just take a bit of user assembly.
