  1. I have two Desktop User Names


    When I look at the User names, it has two different names. There is something like this one:
    JulesBoca


    And this one:
    JulesBR


    When I look at my computer name, it says:



    JulesBoca


    Both Desktops have files on them. The issue is: every time I have to look for something, I have to look for both Desktops/User Names.


    Please advise how to add the files from the second user name to the first one, which is the actual one.

    :)

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
