I just installed Windows 10 on a workstation on my network (there are many computers on this internal network). Since this network is secure and I'm the only employee... the same username and password is used on all systems... mine. This makes it very simple to use the network to move files around, etc. My same username/account is logged into all the computers (and is also the admin on each).
Rather than the normal install user setup processes in past Windows versions... the Windows 10 install process forced me to use the 'login with your MS Account' stuff. So I did. (My username is the same on my Microsoft Account and on my local user account).
Now I want to switch the Windows 10 computer to a local account method instead of the MS Account method. I know how to do this.
But because I need/want to make a local user account by using the precise same username (as I have on all the other computers on the network over the last 30 years)... Windows 10 will not let me create this new local account username because that SAME username (MS Account username) was used to originally setup the Windows 10 OS.
How do I rectify this and create a local user account with the same username I desire (which happens to be the username of the MS Account)?
I guess I have to:
1. Change the username on my MS Account to something different (can this be done?).
2. Change the Windows 10 MS Account username to the new different username.
3. Login to Windows 10 with the new MS Account username.
4. Then attempt to create a new local account with my desired username (the original username).
Thanks!
