Windows 10: Change logon screen user name

My Huawei Matebook D14 had a major problem fixed under warranty but involved reformat or replacement of SSD and reinstallation of Windows 10 Home. All OK now except that the user name is Huawei instead of my name. I would like to correct this. Presume that it needs editing of the Registry, Can anybody till me what I have to edit?

Two identical user names on logon screen - why?

Hi Brink,
One of the first things I do is to run netplwiz, then untag the option, apply, reboot. There is only 1 account listed there.
Not sure how I should/could do it differently to be honest.
I do this because I hate to login each time at rebooting during the setup of applications, etc.
That aside, I am the only user.

As said, when setting up Windows, I get this 'Who is going to be using this PC' and I don't exactly know what to insert there.
First name, last name or just first name?
And what if the name there differs from the account (full) name?
No idea whether that is causing a 'conflict'.
