✅ Why Use a Guest Account?

• Protects your personal files & apps
• Prevents accidental system changes
• Safer than sharing your main account password
• Great for shared laptops at home or office

1. Open Settings

• Press Windows + I → Go to Accounts

2. Add a New User

• Select Family & other users
