I use names which make people question what I do for a living then I tell them I work on computers and they understand the names

Bhav. Which is my real name. From an odd part of the world. But I live in another part of the world. Because grandparents were British Empire slaves.

Linus is my fetish.

If you're using Windows 10 or above you're presumably using your Microsoft Account Name and thus your MS account and real name.

Err - if you're using Windows, you are using a Username. You have to. You could, of course, configure the local Administrator account (Which for regular day to day use is not a good security practice), but that account comes disabled by default. You would either need to SysPrep an OS Image and fresh install w/ the account pre-enabled, or you would need to create another user account simply to enable the local Administrator account.
