Being in IT for a number of years I get set in my ways.
This normally means that personal computers (currently win 10) are set up with Admin and separate User (standard) accounts 

 

A recent article I read said that when (win 10) creating a  admin account it is really a superuser (haven't validated this)

 

It did get me thinking about it though as I recently set up the in-laws computers thinking they will just make themselves admins any way so why bother.
Also it does seems a bit irritating that an individuals settings "partially" move with them when they set up a new pc  but doesn't fully transfer privacy settings etc.

 

So.....

 

below are 2 options (please vote) for users of win 8 onwards
1. Do you create a separate admin and standard user account for yourself
2. I create an account with where you are the admin

I know what I am doing.
I am always right.
I don't need my OS telling me I shouldn't do it.
