This would involve creating a Windows account for him but wouldn't allow him to install anything without the administrators (your) password. You can also set time limits, website restrictions, etc for him, as well as keep track of where he goes online.

 

 

1. Open Control Panel. ...
2. Select User Accounts And Family Safety, then choose Set Up Parental Controls For Any User.
3. Select the child's account.
4. Under Parental Controls, choose Enforce Current Settings.
5. Under Activity Reporting, choose Collect Information About PC Usage.

 

Here's a pretty good article I found:

Along with the non admin user I would recommend you install Privacy Badger and uBlock Origins as browser plugins that should take care of the major popups and ads he might run into.
