A small company Azure AD with Office 365
Hello!
We are a small company of 7 employees. I am the owner of the company and had ordered 7 windows computers. I wanted to set up Office 365 for our employees.
So we bought Office 365 licenses.
The computers I bought came with preloaded Windows Home Edition. Since to use proper Organisation Azure AD, it needed to be Windows Professional Edition, we bought 7 Windows Professional Licenses as well.
1.
Now, I want to be the administrator for the different computers but want to let my employees join the company AD and not start using the company computer for personal windows accounts or usage.
How do I do that?
2.
When I hand over the computers to my employees, we don’t want them to see my user as an option, rather only the option of Other User which they should be allowed to login.
Again only to our Organisation AD they should be able to login and not some other organisation.
How do I do that?

1. I would join each PC to your company AD with its user's login credentials. Set their "temporary" password for you to accomplish this task.
2. To only display individual login, set each user account to "...require user to set their password," then tell each user their temporary password. Since the latest login was the user's account, the login options displayed will be the username and "other."
In addition, you may want to become acquainted with Group Policy to accomplish the other goal of keeping company computer usage separate from your employees' personal stuff. Finally, be mindful that technology cannot solve personnel issues best addressed by sound hiring practices and your human resources policies. You may consider Azure AD joined device
