    Hi Mariota,

     

    Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting in the community.

    Here’s some option and step on how to create a guess user on your Surface

     

    Option A: Make a Local Guest Account

    1. Open Settings click windows button and type settings.
    2. Go to User Accounts Click on Accounts, then choose Family & other users.
    3. Add a New User Under Other users, click Add someone else to this PC.
    4. Skip Microsoft Account Sign-In Click I don’t have this person’s sign-in info, then choose Add a user without a Microsoft account.
    5. Set Up the Account
      • Type a name like GUESS.
        • Create a simple password or leave it blank.
          • Click Next to finish.
          1. Change Account Type
            • Go back to Family & other users.
              • Click the new account and choose Change account type.
                • Set it to Standard User.

    Option B: Turn On the Built-In Guest Account

    1. Open Command Prompt as Admin Press Windows  + R, type cmd or press windows Button right-click it, and choose Run as administrator.
    2. Activate the Guest Account Type this command and press Enter: net user guest /active:yes
