I hope you are aware of the differences of these methods?<br />
Not only will both work, but they can be used for different scenarios: the first will apply to all users of a machine, the second will apply to specific users but on all machines - so probably you will prefer one over the other, but both would deserve an equal amount of points.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
