    Windows 10 profile confusion


    I just set up a new laptop and I perform the login with a PIN. The profile user uses is 'aracz' and I login with the user account 'alansr'. I have delt mostly with Windows 10 in a corporate setting so I am confused as to why I don't have a profile called 'alansr' as this is what I login with. It's an issue because I used a program called Transwiz to copy over my profile from my other laptop and all the data is under the 'aracz' profile but logged in as 'alansr' I do not see the data. Is there an alias of some kind? I don't care if I log in with a local account as this is my personal machine. Not worried about seeing my data on other machines. I'd rather see a profile called 'alansr'.

    Someone please help me understand Windows 10 and profiles. Thanks so much!
