Windows 10: How to I change the Windows username that is assigned to my account?

So some years ago I was installing Windows 10 on to a laptop. During installation I logged in with my Microsoft account. Then it asked for my username for the device, this is the name that shows up in C:/Users/. I typed it in wrong but had not submitted it, was about to correct it when I got distracted. When I came back to fix it, I accidentally hit Enter. When I tried to go back it only asked me to login to the account but never asked for the username. So I forced restarted it the whole thing to get to the MS account login, but again it skipped asking for the username to use.I've been looking
