    Fresh Install of Windows 10, Uses Old User Name


    Hello,When ever I do a fresh install of Windows 10, I connect to the internet, enter my account information and it uses my old messed up username I made years ago. I been digging around on my account page on Microsoft Accounts page but for the life of me, I can not find the old user name so I can change it. Is there a way to change this or am I just stuck with the old messed up user name. I know I can set up Windows with out connecting it to the internet and be able to add the user name that way but to me that is just a Band-Aid to fix the issue.

    :)
