Windows 10: Windows live account changed my Windows 10 username?

Okay so I just installed GTA IV again after not playing for very long time so I didnt remember my old games for windows live acc or whatever (never used for anything but GTA IV). So I input my email and it asks for my name and I dont care about this thing so I just write Asd - Asd. The next day when I started my PC and got the log in screen it showed my profile pic and now my name was ASD - ASD instead of my real name... I don't understand how since I checked all settings and its my real name everywhere else, and I somehow can't change it back cause it doesnt do appear to do anything, it just stays ASD ASD.... I feel like a complete dumbass wat do?

Xbox Live Account Username

So I made an Xbox Live account, right from my new Xbox. But I forgot I had a Windows 10 Xbox account, and would like to use my Windows 10 username. I can still change my Xbox Live account username but it is taken by the Windows 10 account. I know that
I could of used the Windows 10 account but its too late now because I have purchased Xbox Live on the console. Any idea how I can change my Xbox username to the one I have on Windows 10. *Not by paying to change the username, and its okay to delete the Windows
10 account if that meant the username would become available.*

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
