Solved Is delating the OOBE generated Microsoft user account safe?

You could set a decent one and write it down somewhere safe yet readily-accessible. That's what I do.
You can also use netplwiz so they hardly ever have any need to enter the password.

and you might also like to set wakeup to avoid passwords:-

I do understand and know how to make their account password-less and I plan on giving them that option, if they want it.

    The Samsung NVMe PM9C1a 1024GB SSD does not use a Phison NAND controller. Instead, it uses Samsung's in-house developed Piccolo (S4LY022) 6-Core 4 Channel Controller. The PM9C1a utilizes a controller built using Samsung's 5-nanometer process and seventh-generation V-NAND technology. 🤔

I set all my internet connections to metered so that automatic updates do not take place.
- I do updates when I feel like it each month or alternate month.
- I set Task scheduler to run a batch script twice a day to catch WD definition updates.

All the best,

I have thought about doing it that way too, but I really don't want to be involved in that with them, month to month. And I don't trust them remembering themselves. These people are much closer to the end then they are to the beginning. It has been so long since they had a new computer that they have not dealt with updates, (other than maybe Security & Microsoft Antivirus) for years now.
