    How to limit which Microsoft Accounts can login


    Where i work at all the computers that are in use can be signed into by anybody by using our company email address's. In my department i am resonsible for the IT of our maintenance laptops. Is there a way to set up the laptops to where only certain predefined users can sign into them. The computers are all HP Elitebook 840 G5's that run windows 10 Enterprise. I have 3 laptops that i want to restrict access to. They are only for our electricians to be used for programming and troubleshooting. The problem is that mechanics will take them and use them and not return them to where they are supposed to be so then we have to go hunt the computers down.

    :)
