Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching but couldn't find the answer. I recently built a new gaming PC for my child and it’s now the top device in our home. If I want to play games myself occasionally, should I (a) enable multiple Steam users directly on the app, or (b) set up a separate Windows profile (Win10 Home) and install my Steam content there? Are there any notable advantages or drawbacks to either approach? One factor is his age—almost 12—and he enjoys titles like Mortal Combat and CoD, but I might want to keep his usage separate from mine. Would a distinct Windows profile help maintain better separation between our activities? If you have any guides or expert opinions on this, please share them. Thanks!
