How to operate two or more independent accounts
Hello all,
I'm Steve and this is my first post to 10-Forums.
To explain from the outset, this is a scratch build - re-built yesterday (Saturday 2021-12-19) so I could upgrade my drives and setup a new clean build.
I'm running 10-Pro and am using this pc for both my personal and professional work which inevitably means two separate accounts; problem is, I need to operate this as two exclusive accounts without dual-booting the pc.
I've created my two admin accounts: Personal & Work, have partitioned by 2TB secondary drive to give 1.7TB to D: for personal and, 100GB to E: for my Professional account so all its bits can reside there.
And my config is:
* C:\ Standard Windows deployment - all program installs etc go to C:
* D:\ All Personal files and libraries including Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc
* E:\ All Work files and libraries including Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc
Now I need to find a method of complete account independence, for example, muting the system in the personal account, but keeping work unmuted.
I need to install Wireguard for my work, so would like this active in the work account, but not present in the personal account.
I'm a database engineer and BI analyst/developer both in my personal and professional life, so (and this is where it gets really complicated) I need to be able to operate Tableau from two separate accounts - personal to use my own key, and work to use the key supplied by my employer; but I also run SQL Server 2016 Dev from this same machine, and want the work profile to be able to access the server too.
SQL Server might not be too difficult as I could create a Server account from the work profile to login with.
And I don't want distractions to be available in the work profile eg, Steam and Ubisoft
But then there are other things such as SQL Server Integration Services, Python, R, Jupyter Notebook, that I want both accounts to be able to access, but things like Google Drive to have two separate accounts - this is actually a key one, as I dislike OneDrive trying to take over and backup EVERYTHING, so choose to use Google Drive for hot back-up and OneDrive for cold-backup (OneDrive has the larger storage), but annoyingly, my employer also uses Google Drive, so would need to save hot files to this drive too.
Any ideas how I can achieve this with ADFS etc? I suppose it might be more helpful that I'm on Win 10 Pro.
