I havent been using yet because I'm not sure of the privacy and security so I want to check with my fellow experts.
Here's my setup
1) I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro WMC
2) I have two User Accounts setup
1) For personal use (which has a password to log into my account.
2) For my work office files, folders documents etc. (I wanted to separate them from my personal so i created two accounts).
Here's my question...
When I am at my office and I plug into their network, for Internet access and to use my Work Account on Windows 8.1 does this network have the ability to see whats on the computer. (like under C:\USERS\My Personal Account) I can see the folders that I would NOT want my work to view and I clicked it but it does say you dont currently have permission to view this folder). However my picutres folder was accessible just fine....
Essentially I want everything thats on my PERSONAL account protected from having no chance of being viewed, whetehr that be encrypted or some form of password protection so they cant see anything on my machine.
Is this possible? Do i actually need another PC? If this requires the purchase of somethign thats fine too just LMK.
Seriously appreciate the help I just want to protect myself.
