Windows 10: Quick question about a local account username.

If I set my username to, for example, HeyEveryone. Would it show up like that at the login screen and as a file name? Capital letters and all? Or does it make everything lowercase automatically?

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

 

Quick question about W10 user accounts

Same rule applies domain profiles as well, as the profile director will usually be named username.domain. The standard local profile is usually just username as many of us are familiar with, and the MS profile is a shortened version (at least for my accounts) of the username...or usern would be more appropriate as it seems to use the first 5 characters of my actual username on my MS account. So in that sense they are stored and identified differently by the OS, but could be the same name.

Quick question about W10 user accounts

You can't have 2 local accounts, or 2 Microsoft accounts, with the same name on a single OS. But your local account name can be the same as your Microsoft account name. And you can use either account to sign in. So, technically, yes, you can actually have 2 accounts with the same name on a single OS.

EDIT: Nope! My bad. I was mistaken about that as it turns out. See my post below.
