User directories

[Insanity1999]

Installed win11, discovered that the User is the first digits of my old email and not just my name. I kinda broke it tryna use methods online to fix it So I have done a clean install upto adding a microsoft account. Can I avoid this and just use my name?

And why does it matter what your user folder is called?

Rather it wasn't a jumble of letters but something easily understandable. "Saved to dbrjs", why is having my folders named as I want so bad and complicated

Ah... I think you can just change its name but it'd probably mess up some applications

Yeah it breaks a lot of things. I put multiple hours in already. Solution will be to just create new emails with first digits to be the names
