    Change login Name, kinda


    When I recently reinstalled Windows 10 - 1909 it asked me to setup a Microsoft account and I did. On my earlier installation I used a local account and it opened right to Windows without a password. But now that I setup Windows with a Microsoft account the title across the login page is my Microsoft email (Outlook) address name@mydomain.com and I login with a pin. The pin login is OK, but I do not want my Outlook email address on the login page. It would be OK to show my name only without the @mydomain after it, or if it only shows the pin request. How do I make that change, and I would still like to use the pin as my login.
    Thank you,

    Change login Name, kinda-pxl_20201017_014134807-1-.jpgThank you for your response, however my setting in Sign-in options/Privacy already say to not show sign-in details on sign-in screen. I will include a pic of the screen that I am trying to change. Again the pin is okay, but I would like the tomas@oldcliffs.com changed to Tomas, or removed completely.

    Would you be willing to revert to a local account?

    If I can use a local account that is still protected by a PIN, that would be ok. But it didn't seem like I could do it that way.
