Windows 10: Set up 2 PCs using same MS account user. Usernames don't match.

Hello,


I recently set up 2 laptops adding the same MS account user to both.


On one PC I ended up with a c:\users\Jill as expected. The Whoami command shows username Jill and this appears to be the only user on the system.


On the other PC, there is both a c:\users\Jill and a C:\users\Jill.LAPTOP-xxxxx folder and after logging in, whoami shows me as "Jill.LAPTOP-xxxx" and the user accounts shows this is the only user on the system.


I'm not sure how this happened and I'd really like the usernames to match across systems so that I can write scripts and misc. things that will work identically across machines.


Any idea how this might have happened? Would a recovery or refresh have done this? I did run into the biometrics/windows update bug on this lenovo laptop that caused it to blue screen and had to be restored.


Thanks for anyone that might know the answer or a way back from here.

:)

Lost User Account

After upgrading from Window 7 to 10, I lost my wife's User Account got messed up, using my email address and login password, with no ability to change them. I received the reply below, but still have problems:

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with user accounts, we will help you to resolve this issue.



I would like to inform that there can be only one Microsoft user account on one device, and that might be the reason you are unable to change the email address for the user account.



I suggest you to create a new account (Local account) on your computer and transfer the content to newly created user account.



Step 1: Creating a new user account

• Type cmd in the Search bar form the desktop.
• Now, Right-click on cmd.exe from the result and select Run As Administrator.
• User Account Control or UAC dialog box will appear, click on Yes.
• Type net user username password /add
  
  [Replace ‘username’ and ‘password’ with your desired username and password]

Step 2. Copying old files to newly created User Profile

• Go to C:\Users\(Your-Corrupted-
• Copy all files except three files:

• 
  NtUser.dat
  
• 
  NtUser.ini
  
• 
  NtUser.log
  

3. Go to C:\Users\(New-User-Profile-

4. Paste all those copied files here.

I tried to create a new user account as in Step 1, but when I put in the command as written above, I kept getting messages about correct syntax for the command. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't work. I
then tried to set up a new account using the Settings/Accounts/"Add someone else to this PC" menu. I set up the account, but no folder was created under C:\Users\. I tried adding a folder using the new accounts user name and transferred the files from the
other account. When I tried to log in, I received the same error message. I am at a loss as to how to get back the user account with the correct username, email address, and password. HELP!!!
