Child account (lemdro.id)

Thinking about creation an account for my child (9 yo) on my laptop. Question: is it a good idea to create a windows child account (with an email from MS) or I should better provide a fake age and create "usual" account or I should try to a local account only?

Asking because when I created a google child account for my another child it was over-limited like he was not able to start youtube and some other a bit crazy limitation. Moreover, there was no way to release these limits at all.

Do you know how usable this account will be? With google it was a disaster - youtube did not work, mail forwarding was impossible to configure etc

My kid only ran into issues running stuff that required admin rights. I ended up giving them said rights on the account but content filtering and screentime still worked. I think you can whitelist websites as well.

She had the setup for a few years and she never figured out how to remove her parental lockdown.
