Windows provides user accounts to manage access and security for different users on a computer. You can change existing user accounts by editing account names, passwords, account types, and pictures. You can also add security by setting up Windows Hello login with biometrics or a PIN. Windows Defender helps secure the device by automatically scanning for threats and allowing on-demand scans. OneDrive allows restoring your files if anything is deleted or corrupted, up to 30 days prior.
