I think I have found an underlying problem.
When I registered this OS after receiving the PC, I made a mistake in entering my email address and didn't notice it
I need to correct that. How can I ?
If you wanted to switch back to using a local account (without email address), you can use the tutorial below to do so.

Otherwise, you should be able to just start over with netplwiz in option 1 below to update it for the account and password.

Please provide more details about what are you going in circles with. Maybe we can help with it.
For now, I would undo what you currently have done in the registry and start over with netplwiz being sure to select the correct account and enter its password correctly.
I keep coming up against the necessity to enter my Microsoft user name and password..
I think I mentioned before, my user name was intended to be my email address but I spelt it wrongly. That's the present problem.
Microsoft sends - tries to send - messages to the corrupted email address.
When I go to netplwiz I get this, and can't click on the lower user.
And this is what the relevant registry entry looks like now
You could sign in to the built-in "Administrator" account, delete the Microsoft account you created with the wrong email address, create a new Microsoft account with the correct email address, make it an administrator account, and should be good to go.
I don't believe this ... I've looked around the control panel and haven't yet found out where/how I can create another Microsoft, or any other account.
Oh, what is the difference between a Microsoft password and a Windows password?
The tutorial below can help show you how to add a new local account or Microsoft account.
