    Every time I install Windows 10, it installs with the incorrect username

    Every time I install Windows 10, it installs with the incorrect username (Which I set up by mistake in the very beginning). Is there a way to change this permanently so I don't have to go through the long process of changing it whenever I do a fresh install?

    Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

    Hey Guys,
    What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

    Any suggestions? *Smile every time I install a fresh copy of Windows, my old incorrect username appears. :)
