Windows 10 on VMware Workstation with a 'fake' username

Sometimes I wish to make and post/upload screenshots and / or a short video.

With screenshots, I can remove my name using whatever screen capturing tool.

This is more complicated though with videos. Maybe users with more advanced experience know how to blank the user name in videos, but for me it would be nice to be able to run Windows (again, within VMware Workstation) with some 'fake name', like UserX

I still have an unused W10 x64 Pro retail license (upgrade from 8.1) that I might use to create a new VM for that purpose.

I wonder though whether that will work?

During setup, at one point in time I will get a "Make it yours" screen, requiring email and password.
Using my email address and pw, it will automatically use my account profile then. Obviously.


Then again, I don't know what comes next when I hit the 'Skip this step' option at the bottom.

But maybe, what I am asking, isn't possible at all...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.

I am still lost but here goes:

• Only known “change” was starting to use Edge browser (which came with new Asus in May) in addition to Firefox. No earlier problem with new or old PC prior to late June.

• New PC came with Kaspersky with which I am uncertain after the contract period.

• Ads appear when opening email messages ( which are genuine) and must be deleted before continuing with the email. Sites are those I have visited for years.

• Below are samples of the ads and where possible their urls

• Only steps taken are to seek help and direct profanity toward whomever sends this trash

Any suggestions welcomed and thank you,
