Windows 10: Need help with User Name for PC

So when i go to file explorer and go to users,its under someone elses name which i assumed i put as the user name for the pc when i got it 4 years ago,i used netplwiz to change the username and the full name to my name,but now i want to give the pc to the person whos name was originally the username for the pc,i tried changing the full name and the username to theirs in netplwiz,and i clicked apply and all that,then it asks me to sign out and back in again,on the sign in screen it shows their name but when i enter the pin for the pc it changes to my name,i tried going to netplwiz again and the username changed back to my name,anyone know how to fix this? is it because im signed into my Microsoft account which uses my name?
