Windows 10: Windows 11 setup: Logged into Microsoft account, and accidentally "restored from old...

When I first powered on my new PC; I started going through the 'Win. 11 Pro' setup. It asked me to sign-in to a Microsoft account. When I did it said it would carry over a list of things ex. "settings, apps etc." from my previous device my old PC. I didn't see an option to set it up as a "new device". Did I just miss it? When restoring from the last PC, did that take all the settings I did to try to "optimize" it? Who knows what I did over the years. I realized things like the new PC was set to "high performance" in the battery options. Don't think that's the default, but maybe I'm wrong

Accidentally deleted user account - urgent need to restore WIndows 10

I accidentally deleted the user account that I was using (not admin) and now can't fix the issue.

So, I followed these instructions (sort of):

• Step 2: Choose Change your account name.
• Step 3: Type a new name in the box and tap Change Name.
• Step 1: Open Run by Windows+R, enter lusrmgr.msc and hit OK to open Local Users and Groups.
• Step 2: Open the Users folder, right-click a user and select Rename in the menu.

I renamed the user. But then, stupid me, it didn't change it when I checked the start menu. So I then, instead of changing the name back, I deleted that user (which I was actually logged in as - it didn't ask for a password or anything either). It then removed
it from the list (there was a list of 3 items to choose from - Administrator, Guest , and the account I was using. I deleted that account (Liam it was called)

I then stupidly decided to log off and restarted the computer. I then tried to login, and the user account it came up with was Liam - but obvsiouly as I'd deleted the user, when I typed in the password nothing happened). But because I deleted that user in
the way above, it seems to have gone completely. What can I do to restore it?

I've tried system restore but it fails. So can't get back to a restore point.

It's a bit of a pickle really as it's an important user account on my work network and has folders on it that we need to function. I can't access the pc via another, as when I click 'Liam' it just can't connect, says it can't find it. I think what I've done
has really broken the computer....

Any help will be gratefully received.
