Local account with restricted access?

I serve voluntarily as tech support for my religious place of worship. We have a Windows 8.1 machine available for member use, with a local administrator account for those like me, and a local child account for general use that uses website whitelists and
app restrictions. We would like to upgrade this machine to Windows 10 but we do not want to have to create a Microsoft account to maintain the restrictions on the one user account. Did Windows 10 remove the ability to put restrictions on local accounts? Or
is there another way that scenarios like this could be set up?

 

Need some restriction of my standard user in my PC

The easiest way to restrict a standard user from accessing the files of another user account is by ensuring that the files are saved to the
C:\Users\<AdministratorUsername> folder or the %userprofiles% folder. If a standard user attempts to access the files from the said folder, by default, it would instantly prompt for the administrator's credentials in order
to access it.

If you wish to put restrictions on a specific file, you may follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the specific file and choose Properties.
  
• Choose Security tab.
  
• Click Edit.
  
• Choose Add.
  
• Type the username, click Check Name and then, hit
  OK.
  
• You can now manage the restrictions for the user profile, under Permissions for <username>.

If you wanted to set a restriction on the Local Drive, follow these steps:

• Double-click This PC.
  
• Right-click on Local Disk (C.
  
• Choose Properties.
  
• Select Security tab.
  
• Click Edit.
  
• Choose Add.
  
• Type the username, click Check Name and then, hit OK.
• Set the level of restriction for the said drive.
