<aside> 💡 If you are using a personal PC, you should create a separate Windows user account for work, to more easily keep your personal and work data separate. This is also good for compliance and data privacy reasons.

Please note that you will need to create this account with admin privileges to enable you to install things and make settings changes.

  1. Click "I don't have this person's sign-in information" and then "Add a user without a Microsoft account".
