Does the Microsoft Account get a local username
I just switched from a local account to a "Microsoft Account" and I'm wondering now which local username I have now? Do I still have my old local username?
If not, i.e. for changing permissions of folders etc, which username (and domain?) do I have to use?
Solution 1:
Yes - run net users from the command line, or hit 
+R, type compmgmt.msc and expand the users list to see your user name - it should be the name you login as minus the @ sign and the domain name. So if you login as [email protected], your user name on Windows 8 would almost certainly be thisisjustasample.
