Windows 10: Windows 10 Workgroup administration

Is it possible to administer user passwords in a Windows 10 workgroup. I mean instead of changing passwords on individual computers, is it possible to make a new password, which then will be distributed to all relevant clients.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
