  If you use a Microsoft account to set up windows then you have no control over the local username.

    That sucks.. always hated the idea of an online account to access your local system..

      I'm not saying it's a good idea (even though I stupidly do it), I'm merely pointing out that there are reasons that U0080+ may end up in a username; for reasons other than intentionally putting it in there. As for the benefits, which is completely off-topic, Windows Store is actually pretty awesome if you completely avoid search (and you need to do the Microsoft account thing for it AFAIK). Windows has needed a system to update 3rd-party software, to compete with Linux package managers, and the store is a really good effort (there are still annoying warts that Aur, Deb, RPM do not have). If you're willing to be a bit dumb, there is convenience.

    This is exactly why I don't do that initially - I don't mind my account being linked - but I've been bitten by the home path bugs multiple times, I unplug my pc during setup
