(ps: have purchased new laptop (hp omen 17 an010tx) comes windows 10 home , on old desktop, used media creation tool microsoft create iso , upgrade, issue present in both machines). if me out great. :d 

sai,

if ever have reinstall windows set user accounts avoid -

  • disconnect internet before starting installation,
  • during final stages of installation, when asked create user account, create "local" user account i.e. not link msaccount,
    • call user account whatever want appear in c:\users [such sai if want see c:\users\sai],
    • give user account whatever password want overwrite [but note down make sure can enter correctly during setting phase],
  • log , connect internet,
  • go settings, accounts, info
  • click on sign in microsoft account instead,
  • follow procedure through convert "local" user account msaccount-linked user account.

i have focussed on issue raised not want bad influence. 

  • i urge create 2 local password-protected admin accounts in addition user account intend use day-to-day computing. 
  • this creates resilience future. 
  • the procedure & explanations in 19th september 2017 post in change pc greeting name.
  • you can now, not have wait reinstallation it.
