There are a number of ways to do this; some require Windows Pro or Enterprise versions to work. Also, It's somewhat different for 7 than 10. And there are some disadvantages as well. When disabled, you can't easily install software and there are other "administrative" tasks that either can't be performed or at best are really klunky to perform. Finally, most are pretty "under the hood" procedures than can be botched without too much trouble.
So the questions I'd ask are; Are you running a pro or enterprise version of Windows? Are you working behind a firewall--that provides protection for most nefarious activity from outside your network. If your concern is from within your network, I'd suggest hiring different people sooner than I would changing this setting.
All that said, it's not truly rocket science to do, and can be reversed if it doesn't work out. Here's a guide I've used in the past.:

There are some programs (AutoCAD for example) that require admin rights to run.
User accounts in of Windows are controlled under the "UAC" (user account control) I believe. Simply a matter of starting UAC and following the prompts to create a standard user account without admin rights.
I suspect Windows 10 would b similar. Try typing "User Account" in the search bar of the start menu and see what comes up.
