From where did Windows use the username for the system? I'm talking about the username you see in here for example:
C:\Users\dll64\AppData
When installing Windows it asked me to put a name for the PC but it's not being used for above, I'm guessing it's either using it from the email that I had to enter for the installation or somewhere from the account's email settings? went through the settings of the account but found nothing as such and the email linked has an extra letter that isn't used in the username in yellow.
So how exactly do I get Windows to use the username that I want like in Windows 10 where entering the username during installation would apply just the same for the system's account and files (guess Windows10 not forcing you to sign in and being able to disconnect your connection has something to do with that).
(I'm not looking to change it now but something to be applied from the start of the installation).
EDIT: Just saw this Change Name of User Profile Folder in Windows 11 Tutorial
So basically we must make a email account with a name bearing in mind that the 5 first letters are going to be the username for the files.
