What are administrator and guest user accounts?

This is an option present in all versions of Windows, this option comes by default at system startup and allows a person to make a computer available to him, by safeguarding his private information. 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 entering the password, the option to enter or access as administrator or guest was displayed.

Currently this option has been changed and is not allowed to do so. These changes were made by a reform of the security policy carried out by Windows 10, and in this way, there is no default guest account in the system.
