So we are going to explain in a simple way how to do it, but first we are going to provide you with some information about Windows 10 and the benefits of this option. After that we will proceed with the steps to add and create guest or administrator user accounts in Windows 10.
What are administrator and guest user accounts?
This is an option present in all versions of Windows, this option comes by default when starting the system and allows a person to place at their disposal a computer safeguarding their private information. The Windows XP and Windows 7 programs had the user or administrator account available by default on the system.
It could be seen on the main lock screen where when choosing the user and placing the password, the option to enter or access as administrator or as a guest was shown.
Currently this option has been modified and it is not allowed to do so. These changes were made by a security policy reform carried out by Windows 10, and in this way there are no guest accounts by default in the system.

You also protect your privacy as much as possible since having guest users or administrators in Windows 10 makes it possible to give access to the operating system without worrying about them entering somewhere without your permission.
