Thanks for your useful tips. We are doing a lot of what you suggest but it still takes up a lot of time we don't currently have capacity for. Definitely looking into guest accounts as the laptops are local accounts and not on the domain. As I said we do use donated equipment (quite a menagerie) and these generally have Win10 Home User installed. Gpedit.msc isn't included with Win10 Home (grr!!) so I guess we either put on our standard Win7 and hope the hardware is compatible and clone or we need to speed up our plans to migrate to a suitable Win10 enterprise OS. The lesson notes requirement does not prohibit spellchecker or autocorrect so MSWord is fine.

Our network is based around dedicated IT Rooms with fixed connection Desktop PCs running Win7 Pro Sp1We have limited WiFi coverage in place (phase 2 is pending funding).I have a user requirement for SEN students to have word processing capability in class for note taking and written exercises (i.e. old fashioned word processors). Similarly we have a requirement for the same for exams (where access arrangements are in place).I am interested in ideas on how to provide this efficiently with minimum IT Support management overhead. We currently have old/donated laptops of various makes and maintaining these are a bit of a nightmare to maintain and lock down. New machines are aimed at connectivity (which for this user requirement, we don't need or have to lock down).Can anyone suggest a budget device that we can either have a customised operating system pre-installed or can easily/quickly lock-down ourselves?
