Windows 10: Fresh format - sign in vs username, microsoft account

So, I am formatting my laptop, and I noticed with this installation, my user name is my RL first name. In a previous installation, using my same Microsoft account login, it was my nickname, Nanda.



How do I sign in with my microsoft account without it displaying my real name, but instead, username? Example is:



C:\Users\blaze



I would prefer that to be Nanda, without doing a bunch of things. I'm about to install windows and stopped to asked so I only have to do this once today.



Thanks so much!

Sign in with a Microsoft account instead

I have a Local Account and want to, "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead". I go through all of the required steps including entering my Username and Password. Microsoft accepts everything, then ask me to enter my password one final time. I very carefully enter it exactly as I did before and Microsoft says its not correct. Any help wold be appreciated.

 

Cannot sign in microsoft account.

My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

Any suggestion?

Hello Wally, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

It sounds like this is at step 7 in the tutorial below where it's asking you to enter your local account's password one last time.
